Patent attributes
Disclosed herein are a method and apparatus to induce sound sleep and waking, selecting a protocol to control a sound sleep and waking environment depending on a sleep type selected by a user; adjusting the sleep environment of the user according to the selected protocol; determining a sleep state of the user by measuring physiological signals of the user during sleep in the sleep environment using a sensor which does not contact a body of the user; detecting variation in the physiological signals of the user; and re-adjusting the sleep environment by changing parameters of the protocol depending on the detected variation in the physiological signals. As a result, there is an advantage in that it is possible to naturally induce sound sleep and waking.
