Embodiment 1

[0730] Example 1. A method of reducing a user's breathing rate to induce sleep, the method comprising:

[0731] providing at least one sensor input to the user to reduce the user's breathing rate, the at least one sensor input being characterized by at least one parameter;

[0732] monitor the user's breath count to provide feedback for sensor input; and

[0733] Based on the feedback, the value of at least one of the at least one parameter is changed.

Embodiment 2

[0734] Example 2. The method of embodiment 1, wherein said at least one of said sensor inputs is calculated based on monitoring said user's breathing rate at the beginning of a current sleep session and / or one or more previous sleep sessions. parameter.

Embodiment 3

[0735] Example 3. The method of any one of embodiments 1-2, wherein the sensor input includes at least one of an audio signal and a video signal.

Abstract

A processing system includes methods to promote sleep. The system may include a monitor such as a non-contact motion sensor from which sleep information may be determined. User sleep information, such as sleep stages, hypnograms, sleep scores, mind recharge scores and body scores, may be recorded, evaluated and/or displayed for a user. The system may further monitor ambient and/or environmental conditions corresponding to sleep sessions. Sleep advice may be generated based on the sleep information, user queries and/or environmental conditions from one or more sleep sessions. Communicated sleep advice may include content to promote good sleep habits and/or detect risky sleep conditions. In some versions of the system, any one or more of a bedside unit 3000 sensor module, a smart processing device, such as a smart phone or smart device 3002, and network servers may be implemented to perform the methodologies of the system.

Description

[0001] References to related applications [0002] This application asserts Australian Provisional Patent Application Nos. AU2013902516 filed 8 July 2013, U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 018,289 filed 27 June 2014, and 29 / 490,436 filed 9 May 2014 Priority to U.S. Design Patent Application No. , the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to systems and methods for sleep management, and possibly to systems and methods for assisting a user in falling asleep. Background technique [0004] Poor sleep is an important problem worldwide, affecting up to 60% of the adult population. Inadequate rest leads to decreased performance in the workplace. Tired people are also prone to inducing accidents both inside and outside the workplace. [0005] Sleep can be characterized as having four distinct phases (periods) that vary throughout the night. A sleeper typically switches between these states sequent...
