The invention proposes a mobile-terminal sleep wake-up method which includes: a terminal side: acquiring user sleep parameters configured by a base station in an access process; judging that a sleep mode needs to be entered under a standby state; according to the user sleep parameters, calculating a sleep time point and a monitoring time point; entering a sleep mode at the sleep time point and waking up and performing monitoring at the monitoring time point; waking up and initiating access if a sleep wake-up message is monitored; or continuing to sleep. A base-station side: monitoring the state of the terminal and judging that the terminal is in the sleep mode; according to the user sleep parameters configured for the terminal, calculating the monitoring time point; and sending the sleep wake-up message at the monitoring time point if the terminal needs to be woken up. Through adoption of the method, the terminal does not need to perform sleep consultation application to the base station for entrance of the sleep mode so that sleep failure resulted from occupancy of air-interface channel resources by message interaction and message loss is prevented and sleep preparation time is reduced and thus sleep efficiency is improved.

The invention discloses a humanized sleep monitoring alarm clock and a control method thereof. The humanized sleep monitoring alarm clock comprises piezoelectric sensors, an acquisition circuit, an analog-digital converter, a processor, an awakening device and a timer. Sleeping stages are judged according to eye movement frequency and combined with preset awakening time to enable the awakening device to be controlled to start at a light sleep stage. A user is awakened at the light sleep stage by the humanized sleep monitoring alarm clock according to the sleeping stages of the user and the awakening time preset by the user, so that the user can get into a waking state more quickly on the premise that life arrangement of the user is not delayed, and sleep efficiency can be improved within limited sleep time. The humanized sleep monitoring alarm clock is simple and can be integrated on a blinder to be worn by the user during sleeping, and normal sleeping of the user is unaffected. The piezoelectric sensors of the blinder integrated 'humanized' clock are arranged in the blinder and closely attachable to a human body, and continuity and accuracy in timing of the clock are guaranteed.
