Embodiment approach 1

[0037] The sleep control system 1 according to Embodiment 1 will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[0038] figure 1 It is a schematic perspective view of the sleep control system 1 used in this embodiment. The sleep control system 1 of the present embodiment includes a heating unit 2 for heating a human body, and a control unit 3 for controlling the heating operation of the heating unit 2 .

[0039] The warming unit 2 is provided above the mattress 4 and below the human body. Then, the warming part 2 generates heat using a nichrome wire, and contacts the human body to apply heat. In addition, in the present embodiment, the warming unit 2 is formed in such a size as to heat the range from the shoulders to the feet of the human body.

[0040] As a method of applying heat to the human body, there is also a method of raising the temperature itself, such as an air conditioner. However, people will feel uncomfortable when the temperature rises during sleep, wh...

Embodiment approach 2

[0069] A sleep control system 1a according to Embodiment 2 will be described below with reference to the drawings. This embodiment differs from Embodiment 1 in that a vibration sensor 10 is provided in the sleep control system 1a. In this embodiment, the description will focus on the differences from Embodiment 1. FIG.

[0070] Figure 6 It is a schematic perspective view of the sleep control system 1a used in this embodiment. Figure 7 It is a block diagram showing the structure of the control part 3a used in this embodiment. Figure 8 It is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the sleep control system 1a used in this embodiment.

[0071] Such as Figure 6 As shown, the sleep control system 1a of this embodiment is provided with a vibration sensor 10 in the warming part 2a. As the vibration sensor 10, a sensor using a piezoelectric element, an ultrasonic Doppler sensor, or the like may be used. Vibrations such as turning over of the human body are detected by the...

Embodiment approach 3

[0082] A sleep control system 1b according to Embodiment 3 will be described below with reference to the drawings. This embodiment differs from Embodiment 1 in that a sounder 11 is provided in the sleep control system 1b. In this embodiment, the description will focus on the differences from Embodiment 1. FIG.

[0083] Figure 9 It is a block diagram showing the structure of the control part 3b used in this embodiment. Figure 10 It is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the sleep control system 1b used in this embodiment.

[0084] Such as Figure 9 As shown, the sleep control system 1b of this embodiment includes a sounder 11 in the control unit 3b. Then, the control circuit 5b in the control unit 3b generates a signal at the scheduled wake-up time, and the sound as an alarm at the scheduled wake-up time flows out from the sounder 11 based on the signal.

[0085] Such as Figure 10 As shown, in the sleep control system 1b of this embodiment, after the control circ...

Abstract

Since sleep-regulating electric blankets cause the body temperature of a person to rise 45 minutes before that person is to get out of bed, there may be times when body temperature cannot be raised during REM sleep taking an approximately 90 minute long cycle of REM sleep and non-REM sleep into consideration. Thus, such blankets were insufficient for obtaining a comfortable wake-up state. A sleep regulation system (1) according to the present invention is provided with a thermal heating unit (2) which contacts and heats a human body and a control unit (3) for controlling the heating operation of the thermal heating unit (2), said sleep regulation system (1) being characterized in that: the thermal heating unit (2) performs heating at 36 to 41oC in the period between a heating start time 90 to 150 min before a planned time of getting out of bed and the planned time of getting out of bed; and the thermal heating unit (2) does not perform heating at a temperature higher than 33 DEG C in the period between getting into bed, or a set amount of time after getting into bed, and the heating start time.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to sleep control systems, and more particularly to sleep control systems for comfortable waking up. Background technique [0002] The sleep time of modern people tends to decrease, but on the other hand, in order to promote social activities, they have to get up at a roughly fixed time in the morning. Many people wake up forcibly by using an alarm clock or the like, which causes a feeling of sleep insufficiency, sleep inertia, and decreased mobility immediately after waking up. As sleep control warming devices for improving such problems, the following devices have been developed. [0003] Figure 14 It is a figure which shows the schematic structure of the sleep control electric blanket disclosed by patent document 1. The blanket main body 101 heats the upper body of the human body through the upper heater 102 , and heats the lower body of the human body through the lower heater 103 . In addition, the heating temperatu...
