Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of eye mask therapy technology, specifically relating to a sleep-aiding eye mask that relieves physical and mental fatigue. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, with the accelerating pace of urbanization and rising living standards, the fast-paced lifestyle has intensified competition. Studies show that prolonged exposure to high pressure can easily lead to insomnia, vivid dreams, and difficulty concentrating; in more severe cases, it can cause neurasthenia or depression. Insomnia and depression can trigger various physical and psychological illnesses. Therefore, timely and effective relief of physical and mental fatigue, along with targeted physical therapy for insomnia and other related issues, is crucial for improving people's quality of life. Currently, many people use medication to alleviate insomnia and depression, but pure drug treatment can lead to drug tolerance and less than ideal therapeutic effects. Due to the limitations of drug treatment for insomnia and depression, supplementary physical therapy products for insomnia and depression have emerged. Among them, eye masks with therapeutic functions can effectively relieve eye swelling and discomfort, improve blood circulation in the eyes, and provide a safe and reliable solution for symptoms such as insomnia and depression.

[0003] However, current therapeutic eye masks all have some unavoidable drawbacks: First, most eye masks on the market use heating to treat the eyes. For example, Chinese patent CN214018094U discloses a heated eye mask, including an eye mask and a heating pad. The heating pad is installed inside the eye mask, and a dressing chamber is sewn into the eye mask. The heating pad includes a heating pack kit and an eye mask pad. The heating pack kit is detachably installed in the dressing chamber, and the eye mask pad is connected to the heating pack kit and extends out of the eye mask. This heated eye mask directly covers the eyeball, using the same temperature to provide heat therapy, which can relieve eye fatigue to some extent. However, the temperature of this type of heated eye mask remains basically constant during the heating process, which cannot meet the user's need for massaging specific acupoints; moreover, using a large area of ​​direct contact with the eyeball can easily cause eye congestion, and the therapeutic effect is not ideal.

[0004] In addition, existing therapeutic eye masks also have functions such as massage and music, providing relief and therapy to the eyes through airbag massage and music guidance. For example, Chinese patent CN211535139U discloses an inflatable massage eye mask, including an eye mask body, an inflation component, and multiple massage airbags. When the eye mask body is worn on the user's head, the inflation component inflates the massage airbags, which then massage the user's eye sockets or temples. Although the inflation component can inflate each massage airbag individually for single-point massage of the user's eye sockets or temples, the multi-point massage using massage airbags is relatively complex, and the airbag structure is prone to damage and leakage, affecting the lifespan of the eye mask. Another Chinese patent CN213250361U discloses a smart music eye mask with a heating function, including ear-hook headphones, earplugs, headphone cables, a support frame, a connecting frame, an outer cover, and a heat circulation device. This music eye mask allows users to listen to music through headphones and uses the eye mask to block light and soothe the eyes. However, this music eye mask is simply an overlay of an eye mask and headphones. The constant and monotonous music loop can only focus people's attention on the surface of their body, making it difficult to relieve people's fatigue on a psychological and physiological level, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0005] Finally, some people treat insomnia and depression based on the theoretical foundation of mindfulness meditation. Mindfulness therapy is a technique originating in the East and later integrated into modern psychotherapy in the West. Based on mindfulness therapy, many mindfulness-based sleep aids have emerged. For example, patent CN109172132A provides a cinnamon steam eye mask that uses antioxidant herbal essential oils to promote relaxation. However, the onset of insomnia and depression is influenced by various factors, including psychological, physiological, and endocrine factors. The aforementioned therapeutic eye masks primarily offer users a short period of rest and relaxation, lacking additional functions and failing to help wearers let go of distracting thoughts and worries, thus failing to effectively alleviate anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and depression.

[0006] Therefore, given the problems with existing technologies, there is an urgent need to provide a sleep aid product that can provide personalized, targeted heating to acupoints around the eyes to deeply relieve physical and mental fatigue, in order to meet the needs of people suffering from insomnia and depression. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In response to the problems in related technologies, this invention proposes a sleep-aiding eye mask that relieves physical and mental fatigue. By optimizing the eye mask's heating system and using vibration and light to guide a person's breathing, it allows the person to maintain inner peace and enter a deep state of mental relaxation while focusing and feeling comfortable. This gives the eye mask a mindfulness-guided sleep-aiding function, thus overcoming the aforementioned technical problems in existing related technologies.

[0008] The technical solution of this invention is implemented as follows: a sleep-aiding eye mask for relieving physical and mental fatigue, comprising an eye mask body, a power supply, a drive control module, and a functional module.

[0009] The main body of the goggles includes a support part, a light-blocking part, and a connecting part.

[0010] The support unit is used to carry the power supply, drive control module and functional module. The structure of the support unit is adapted to the human eye and includes a fabric layer and a lining layer from the outside to the inside. The light-shielding part is located between the two and is made of flexible material. The connecting part is used to wear and fix the support unit on the human head and cover and fit the eyes.

[0011] The drive control module includes a chip processing unit, a data acquisition unit, and a control output unit, and the drive control module is electrically connected to the power supply.

[0012] The functional modules include one or more of a heating module, a cooling module, a sound prompt module, a light guidance module, or a vibration module. The cooling module is used to cool down the human head, and the sound prompt module, light guidance module, and vibration module are used to guide the user to adjust their breathing rhythm.

[0013] The heating module is located between the light-shielding part and the inner layer, and transfers heat to the eye through heat transfer. The heating module includes an eye heating part and an eye socket heating part, and each heating part is connected to the drive control module. The heating part collects environmental data through a data acquisition unit.

[0014] The data acquisition unit includes a first temperature acquisition module, which is located between the light-shielding part and the inner material layer. It is used to detect the temperature of the heating module. The first temperature acquisition module transmits the temperature signal to the chip processing unit. The chip processing unit generates a control signal based on the temperature signal and sends it to the control output unit. The control output unit controls the temperature of the eye heating part and the eye socket heating part separately.

[0015] In this invention, the heating module of the eye mask is optimized, and the heating points are arranged according to individual needs. Most eye masks on the market currently use a large-area constant temperature heat therapy method, and the heat is directly in contact with the eyeball, which can easily cause eye congestion. This sleep aid eye mask can target the heating of various acupoints around the eye socket according to the physiological characteristics of the human body, so that different areas of the eye mask have different temperatures. Furthermore, the temperature change in the same area of ​​the eye mask conforms to the physiological laws of the human body, so as to achieve the effect of quickly eliminating fatigue.

[0016] As a further improvement to the above solution, the data acquisition unit also includes a second temperature acquisition module. The second temperature acquisition module is located on the fabric layer and is used to detect the temperature of the outdoor environment. The second temperature acquisition module transmits the temperature signal to the chip processing unit. The chip processing unit sends a control signal to the control output unit based on the temperature signals acquired by the first temperature acquisition module and the second temperature acquisition module. The control output unit then controls the temperature of the eye heating part and the eye socket heating part separately.

[0017] To achieve personalized and precise temperature control, a chip processing unit is connected to a temperature acquisition module. This unit detects the heating temperature of the heating module and the ambient outdoor temperature. Based on the feedback from the temperature acquisition module, the temperature of the heating module is adjusted accordingly to achieve precise temperature control.

[0018] As a further improvement to the above solution, the cooling module is positioned directly in front of the human head's frontal lobe. The cooling module uses a phase change material with a phase change temperature range of 20℃ to 26℃, which can crystallize and condense at room temperature. An ice pack is provided on the top of the support part to hold the phase change material. The ice pack is fixed to the support part by magnetic attraction.

[0019] It should be noted that, on the one hand, the eye sockets require a slightly higher temperature; applying appropriate heating to several acupoints around the eyes can provide proper relaxation. On the other hand, the frontal lobe requires a suitable lower temperature. The frontal lobe is the most important area of ​​the brain, where most thinking and emotional functions are performed. Long-term high-intensity work can lead to frontal lobe fatigue, and since the frontal lobe prefers lower temperatures, appropriate lower temperatures can help it quickly eliminate fatigue. This sleep-aid eye mask uses a unique combination of hot and cold compresses, applying heat to the eye sockets and cold compresses to the forehead, specifically relaxing the eyes and brain, and eliminating physical and mental fatigue.

[0020] As a further improvement to the above solution, the sound prompt module is located in the drive control module and is used to issue prompt commands to the user, directly guiding the user to perform multiple breathing adjustment cycles.

[0021] The light guidance module is located on the support part, facing the center of the human head. The light guidance module is equipped with at least three different color temperature light sources, which, together with the vibration module, produce vibrations that match the human heart rate. Through the gradual changes in light source and vibration, the user is guided to adjust their breathing method and rhythm.

[0022] As a further improvement to the above solution, the data acquisition unit also includes an electromyography (EMG) signal acquisition module. The EMG signal acquisition module is located on the lining layer near the temple and is used to detect the EMG signal of the muscle contraction intensity at the acupoint. The EMG signal acquisition module feeds back the EMG signal to the chip processing unit. The chip processing unit generates a control signal based on the wearing time and the EMG signal and sends it to the control output unit. The control output unit controls the intensity changes of the light source and vibration, and records the changes in sleep quality.

[0023] As a further improvement to the above solution, the chip processing unit has multiple sets of breathing regulation templates built in. The breathing regulation templates are configured according to different age groups and physical conditions. They prompt the corresponding breathing mode by adjusting the speed of the vibration frequency output by the vibration module, and prompt the corresponding breathing rhythm by adjusting the intensity of the light source emitted by the light guide module.

[0024] Each breathing adjustment module has multiple modes configured according to the different wearing time of the user. Each mode adjusts the light source and vibration gradient according to the selected wearing time. The user can call up the breathing adjustment module built into the chip processing unit according to their own situation. The control output unit controls the vibration module and light guidance module to act according to the selected breathing adjustment module.

[0025] It should be noted that this sleep aid eye mask is based on mindfulness therapy. It uses vibration and light to guide a person's breathing, allowing them to maintain inner peace and enter a deep state of mental relaxation in a focused and comfortable state. This gives the eye mask a mindfulness-based sleep aid effect, effectively relieving negative emotions such as anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and depression.

[0026] As a further improvement to the above solution, the functional module also includes a microcurrent control module, which is located on the side of the lining layer near the temple. In conjunction with the sound prompt module / light guidance module / vibration module, it sends microcurrent stimulation to the user to guide the user to adjust their breathing mode and breathing rhythm.

[0027] As a further improvement to the above solution, the connecting part includes a textured surface and a hooked surface, respectively disposed on both sides of the supporting part. The supporting part is worn on the human head by the mutual contact of the textured surface and the hooked surface; or...

[0028] The connecting part includes a fastener and a loop, respectively located on both sides of the supporting part. The supporting part is worn on the human head by engaging the fastener and the loop; or...

[0029] The connecting part includes a left magnetic part and a right magnetic part, which are respectively located on both sides of the bearing part. The bearing part is worn on the human head by magnetic attraction between the left magnetic part and the right magnetic part.

[0030] A filling part is also provided between the light-shielding part and the inner layer. The filling part is attached to and clamps the heating module with the inner layer. The filling part is distributed along the upper and lower parts of the user's eyes, including an eye socket support part located at the upper part and an eyelid support part located at the lower part. The eye socket support part is linear and extends along the upper edge of the left and right eye sockets of the human body. The eyelid support part extends along the lower edge of the left and right eyelids of the human body, and includes a lower left eyelid support part, a nose support part and a lower right eyelid support part in sequence. The lower left eyelid support part is level with the lower right eyelid support part. The nose support part is concave upward, avoiding gaps and fitting the bridge of the human nose.

[0031] The filling part is made of sponge or silicone material, and the thickness of the filling part ranges from 3mm to 9mm.

[0032] The eye heating element is located around the eyes, and the orbital heating element extends along various acupoints in the orbit. The eye heating element and the orbital heating element indirectly transfer heat to various acupoints in the eyes and orbit, respectively. The heating temperature of the orbital heating element is higher than that of the eye heating element.

[0033] As a further improvement to the above solution, the sleep-aiding eye mask's sleep-inducing process includes the following methods and steps:

[0034] Guidance Method 1:

[0035] Step 1.1: The user activates the sleep aid function switch;

[0036] Step 1.2: The sound prompt module / vibration module / light guidance module issues prompts to the user, guiding the user to perform multiple breathing adjustment cycles, including but not limited to rapid deep breathing, rapidly inhaling and holding the breath.

[0037] Step 1.3: End after completing the full boot mode;

[0038] Guiding Method Two:

[0039] Step 2.1: The user activates the sleep aid function switch;

[0040] Step 2.2: The heating module adjusts its temperature according to the preset temperature curve of the chip processing unit to form a heating temperature curve;

[0041] Step 2.3: The data acquisition module acquires data and feeds it back to the chip processing unit. The chip processing unit sends a control signal to the control output unit, which then controls the temperature of the heating module to ensure that the heating temperature curve reaches the preset temperature curve.

[0042] Step 2.4: The sound prompt module / vibration module / light guidance module issues prompts to the user, guiding the user to perform multiple breathing adjustment cycles, including but not limited to rapid deep breathing, rapidly inhaling and holding the breath.

[0043] Step 2.5: End after completing the full boot mode.

[0044] As a further improvement to the above solution, the adjustment process of the light guidance module includes the following steps:

[0045] Step 3.1: Three different color temperatures are configured to further guide users to focus their attention on vibration, light source and their own breathing, and enter a meditative state. First, a light source of 2750K~2850K is used to reduce the sensory mutation of human photoreceptor nerves.

[0046] Step 3.2: Use a light source of 2550K to 2650K for the transition;

[0047] Step 3.3: Finally, use a light source of 2200K to 2450K to alleviate the user's anxiety and depression.

[0048] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0049] (1) Optimize the heating module of the eye mask and arrange the heating parts according to individual needs. Most eye masks on the market use a large area constant temperature hot compress method and directly contact the eyeball to heat up, which can easily cause eye congestion. This sleep aid eye mask can heat up various acupoints in the eye socket according to the physiological characteristics of the human body, so that different areas of the eye mask have different temperatures. Furthermore, the temperature change in the same area of ​​the eye mask conforms to the physiological law of the human body, so as to achieve the effect of quickly eliminating fatigue.

[0050] (2) Precise temperature control: The chip processing unit is connected to the temperature acquisition module. On the one hand, it detects the heating temperature of the heating module, and on the other hand, it detects the temperature of the outdoor environment. The temperature acquisition module provides feedback and adjusts the temperature of the heating module accordingly to achieve precise temperature control. At the same time, this sleep aid eye mask adopts an original hot and cold combination method, applying heat to the eye area and cold to the forehead area to specifically relax the eyes and brain and eliminate physical and mental fatigue.

[0051] (3) Breaking the limitation of existing eye masks that only affect the surface of the body, this sleep aid eye mask is based on mindfulness therapy. It uses vibration and light to guide a person's breathing, allowing them to maintain inner peace and enter a deep state of mental relaxation in a focused and comfortable process. This gives the eye mask a mindfulness therapy sleep aid effect, effectively relieving negative emotions such as anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and depression. Attached Figure Description

[0063] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0064] Example 1

[0065] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a sleep-aiding eye mask for relieving physical and mental fatigue includes an eye mask body 1, a power supply, a drive control module, and a functional module.

[0066] The eye mask body 1 includes a support part 111, a light-shielding part 12, and a connecting part 112. The support part 111 is used to carry the power supply, drive control module, and functional module. The structure of the support part 111 is adapted to the human eye and includes a fabric layer 11 and a lining layer 15 from the outside to the inside. The light-shielding part 12 is located between the two and is made of flexible material. In this embodiment, the fabric layer is made of cloth, the lining layer is made of black skin-friendly material, and the connecting part is preferably made of silicone.

[0067] The connecting part 112 is used to wear and fix the bearing part 111 on the human head and cover and fit the eyes; in this embodiment, the connecting part 112 includes a hairy part K1 and a hooked part K2, which are respectively disposed on both sides of the bearing part 111. The bearing part 111 is worn on the human head by the mutual fitting of the hairy part K1 and the hooked part K2.

[0068] The outer surface of the support part 111 is provided with a control panel 2 facing the center of the eyebrows. The control panel 2 is provided with a sleep aid function switch. Users can turn the sleep aid eye mask on and off and call up various function modules through the control panel 2.

[0069] The drive control module includes a chip processing unit, a data acquisition unit, and a control output unit, and the drive control module is electrically connected to the power supply.

[0070] In this embodiment, the functional modules include a heating module 14, a cooling module, a sound prompt module, a light guidance module 3, and a vibration module. The cooling module is used to cool and soothe the human head, and the sound prompt module, light guidance module 3, and vibration module are used to guide the user to adjust their breathing rhythm.

[0071] The heating module 14 is located between the light-shielding part 12 and the inner material layer 15. It transfers heat to the eye through heat transfer. The heating module includes an eye heating part and an eye socket heating part. Each heating part is connected to the drive control module. The heating part collects environmental data through the data acquisition unit.

[0072] In this embodiment, a filling part 13 is further provided between the light-shielding part 12 and the inner layer 15. The filling part 13 is attached to the inner layer 15 and clamps the heating module 14. The filling part 13 is distributed along the upper and lower parts of the user's eyes, including an upper eye socket support part 131 and a lower eyelid support part 132. The eye socket support part 131 is linear and extends along the upper edge of the left and right eye sockets of the human body. The eyelid support part 132 extends along the lower edge of the left and right eyelids of the human body, and includes a left lower eyelid support part H1, a nose support part H2 and a right lower eyelid support part H3 in sequence. The left lower eyelid support part H1 and the right lower eyelid support part H3 are level. The nose support part H2 is concave upward, avoiding gaps and fitting the bridge of the human nose. Specifically, the filling part 13 is made of sponge material or silicone material, and the thickness of the filling part 13 is in the range of 3mm to 9mm.

[0073] It should be noted that traditional therapeutic eye masks have a simple structure. To simplify the manufacturing process, they are mostly made from a single piece of fabric, which cannot conform to the characteristics of the human head and can easily cause pressure on the eyes. In contrast, this sleep aid eye mask is based on the principles of human head ergonomics. It uses big data sampling and analysis of the contour features of the human head to create an eye mask body that conforms to most human body characteristics. The various filling parts fit the eyes closely, improving user comfort. At the same time, the light-blocking parts further cover and fit the eyes, providing a better light-blocking and isolation effect. It also plays a foundational role in massaging the eyes and effectively relieving eye fatigue.

[0074] In this embodiment, the eye heating element is disposed around the eyes, and the orbital heating element extends along various acupoints of the human orbit. The eye heating element and the orbital heating element indirectly transfer heat to various acupoints of the eyes and orbit, respectively. Specifically, the heating temperature of the orbital heating element is higher than that of the eye heating element.

[0075] In this embodiment, the data acquisition unit includes a first temperature acquisition module located between the light-shielding part 12 and the lining layer 15, used to detect the temperature of the heating module 14. It also includes a second temperature acquisition module located on the fabric layer 11, used to detect the outdoor ambient temperature.

[0076] The first and second temperature acquisition modules transmit temperature signals to the chip processing unit. The chip processing unit generates control signals based on the temperature signals and sends them to the control output unit. The control output unit then controls the temperature of the eye heating element and the orbital heating element separately. In this embodiment, each heating element uses a resistive heating film, which utilizes the difference in resistivity to generate heat and control the temperature.

[0077] To achieve personalized and precise temperature control, a chip processing unit is connected to a temperature acquisition module. On the one hand, it detects the heating temperature of the heating module 14, and on the other hand, it detects the temperature of the outdoor environment. Based on the feedback from the temperature acquisition module, the temperature of the heating module 14 is adjusted accordingly to achieve precise temperature control.

[0078] The cooling module is positioned directly over the frontal lobe of the human head. The cooling module uses phase change material with a phase change temperature range of 20℃ to 26℃, allowing it to crystallize and condense at room temperature. An ice pack 4 is located on the top of the support unit 111 to hold the phase change material. The ice pack 4 is magnetically attached to the support unit 111. It should be noted that, on the one hand, the eye socket requires a slightly higher temperature; appropriately heating several acupoints around the eye socket can provide reasonable relaxation for the eyes. On the other hand, the frontal lobe requires a suitable low temperature. The frontal lobe is the most important area of ​​the brain, where most thinking and emotional functions are performed. Prolonged high-intensity work can lead to frontal lobe fatigue, and since the frontal lobe prefers low temperatures, appropriate low temperatures can quickly eliminate fatigue. This sleep-aid eye mask uses a unique combination of hot and cold compresses, applying heat to the eye socket and cold compresses to the forehead, specifically relaxing the eyes and brain, and eliminating physical and mental fatigue.

[0079] Specifically, in this embodiment, the ice pack 4 is made of silicone. Magnetic strips 41 are provided on the lower end surface of the ice pack 4 and the top of the supporting part. The two are fixed together by the magnetic strips 41, making assembly and disassembly convenient and providing a good user experience. The sound prompt module is located in the drive control module and is used to issue prompts to the user, directly guiding the user to perform multiple breathing adjustments.

[0080] The light guidance module 3 is located on the support part 111, facing the center of the forehead. The light guidance module 3 is equipped with at least three different color temperature light sources, which, together with the vibration module, produce vibrations that match the rhythm of the human heartbeat. Through the gradual changes in the light source and vibration, the user is guided to adjust their breathing pattern and rhythm. The data acquisition unit also includes an electromyography (EMG) signal acquisition module, which is located on the lining layer 15 near the temple. It is used to detect the EMG signals of the muscle contraction intensity at acupoints. The EMG signal acquisition module feeds back the EMG signals to the chip processing unit. The chip processing unit generates control signals based on the wearing time and EMG signals and sends them to the control output unit. The control output unit controls the intensity changes of the light source and vibration, and records the changes in sleep quality.

[0081] In this embodiment, the chip processing unit has multiple sets of breathing regulation templates built in. The breathing regulation templates are configured according to different age groups and physical conditions. They prompt the corresponding breathing mode by adjusting the speed of the vibration frequency output by the vibration module, and prompt the corresponding breathing rhythm by adjusting the intensity of the light source emitted by the light guide module 3.

[0082] Based on different age groups and physical conditions, this embodiment has developed 21 templates that can be personalized. Each template includes three modes: a 15-minute nap, a 20-minute meditation, and a 30-minute deep sleep, as follows:

[0083]

[0084] It should be noted that each breathing adjustment template has multiple modes depending on the user's wearing time. Each mode adjusts the light source and vibration gradient according to the selected wearing time. Users can select the breathing adjustment template built into the chip processing unit according to their own situation. The control output unit controls the vibration module and light guidance module 3 according to the selected breathing adjustment module. Different vibration frequencies prompt different breathing methods and rhythms. This sleep aid eye mask is based on mindfulness therapy and uses vibration and light to guide breathing, allowing people to maintain inner peace in a focused and comfortable state, enter a deep state of mental relaxation, and make the eye mask have a mindfulness therapy sleep aid effect, effectively relieving negative emotions such as anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and depression.

[0085] In the specific implementation process, this embodiment randomly selected 278 ordinary college students from more than 20,000 students on campus, plus 64 college students with serious psychological problems for the experiment, and obtained the following data:

[0086] (1) When students closed their eyes and relied on their own relaxation without wearing blindfolds, many distracting thoughts would automatically arise; after wearing blindfolds, all students would focus their attention on the guiding factors and their own breathing, and no distracting thoughts would arise. This included 35 students with severe anxiety and obsessive-compulsive symptoms.

[0087] (2) All students reported that wearing the eye mask was very comfortable, and 336 students felt sleepy, including 87 students who had difficulty falling asleep at night.

[0088] (3) After using it 5 times (once a day for 15 minutes), 92.7% of students reported improved concentration and memory, 88.3% of students reported improved interest in class, and 72.4% of students reported more fluent thinking and more ideas for solving problems when doing homework.

[0089] (4) Eye masks are more effective in relieving the psychological state of students than ordinary students. Many students reported that symptoms such as headache and fatigue disappeared after using eye masks.

[0090] In specific applications, the sleep-aiding eye mask's sleep-inducing process, based on the above-described solution of the present invention, includes the following methods and steps:

[0091] Guidance Method 1:

[0092] Step 1.1: The user activates the sleep aid function switch;

[0093] Step 1.2: The sound prompt module / vibration module / light guidance module issues prompts to the user, guiding the user to perform multiple breathing adjustment cycles, including but not limited to rapid deep breathing, quickly inhaling and holding the breath. It should be noted that many human fatigue, as well as psychological symptoms such as anxiety, stem from the body's related systems operating under high pressure and constant conditions for a long time, exceeding the system's tolerance. To eliminate this fatigue and anxiety, it is necessary to break out of the original relatively stable operating state and enter a new operating mode. Furthermore, this sleep aid eye mask guides the user's body out of its original inertia by instructing them to take rapid deep breaths, quickly inhale and hold the breath, and then guides the user into a relaxed and natural breathing state, forming a new operating mode.

[0094] Step 1.3: End after completing the full boot mode;

[0095] Guiding Method Two:

[0096] Step 2.1: The user activates the sleep aid function switch;

[0097] Step 2.2: The heating module adjusts its temperature according to the preset temperature curve of the chip processing unit to form a heating temperature curve;

[0098] Step 2.3: The data acquisition module collects data and feeds it back to the chip processing unit. The chip processing unit sends a control signal to the control output unit, which controls the temperature of the heating module to achieve the preset temperature curve. In this embodiment, the heating module 14 of the eye mask is optimized and the heating parts are arranged according to individual needs. Most eye masks on the market use a large-area constant temperature hot compress method and directly contact the eyeball to heat the eye, which can easily cause eye congestion. This sleep aid eye mask can heat the acupoints of the eye socket according to the physiological characteristics of the human body, so that different areas of the eye mask have different temperatures. Furthermore, the temperature change in the same area of ​​the eye mask conforms to the physiological laws of the human body, so as to achieve the effect of quickly eliminating fatigue.

[0099] Step 2.4: The sound prompt module / vibration module / light guidance module issues prompts to the user, guiding the user to perform multiple breathing adjustment cycles, including but not limited to rapid deep breathing, rapidly inhaling and holding the breath.

[0100] Step 2.5: End after completing the full boot mode.

[0101] The adjustment process of the light guidance module includes the following steps:

[0102] Step 3.1: Three different color temperatures are configured to further guide the user to focus their attention on vibration, light source, and their own breathing, and enter a meditative state. First, a light source of 2750K to 2850K is used to reduce sensory abrupt changes in the human body's photoreceptor nerves, with 2800K being the preferred color temperature. It should be noted that the use of vibration and light guidance can effectively regulate the user's breathing rhythm. When the vibration frequency and the intensity and waveform of the light are appropriate, the user's attention will be focused on the vibration, light, and their own breathing.

[0103] Step 3.2: Use a light source of 2550K to 2650K for transition, preferably with a color temperature of 2600K;

[0104] Step 3.3: Finally, use a light source of 2200K to 2450K to alleviate the user's anxiety and depression, with a preferred color temperature of 2400K.

[0105] It should be noted that when wearing the sleep aid eye mask, the vibration and light intensity are at their maximum when you start breathing naturally. However, at this time, your mind is not yet calm, and you can only feel the vibration, not the changes in light. As the vibration and light intensity decrease, you can maintain inner peace during the process of focusing and adapting, and gradually enter the process of mindfulness and meditation to guide the body into a deep state of mental relaxation, effectively relieving negative emotions such as anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and depression.
