I am trying to figure out a way to determine how long someone has been away from an object. For example , how much time has passed since the last time I laid down on my bed, or opened the refrigerator.
I have experience with python, but I have no real knowledge about IoT, sensors, wearable technology, etc. I would like guidelines on the best way to build such projects, and learn about the technical skills to solve the problem mentioned above. Also, I would appreciate learning about any Arduino tools/products that could help eventually complete my project and build a prototype.

Not a simple project at all, but interesting.
A couple of years studying for an electronics\microcontroller qualification might be a good place to start...............

There will be a huge difference between identifying when the fridge was last opened and when person X last opened the fridge.
You could probably fix up a small microswitch that gets triggered whenever the door is opened and an Arduino (or Raspberry PI) could detect that and make a note of the time. But that would not identify the person who opened the door.
An Arduino would probably need a Real Time Clock (RTC) module to get reliable times. I suspect an RPi has that built in.
