Methods and systems for sleep management

A method to promote sleep with a processor adapted to access measured data representing user movement detected by a movement sensor comprising:

• processing the measured data and determining sleep factors with features derived from the measured data;
• generating at least one of a mind recharge indicator and a body recharge indicator, based on the determined sleep factors;
• and
• controlling a display of at least one of the mind recharge indicator and the body recharge indicator, wherein at least one of the mind recharge indicator and the body recharge indicator comprises a visual representation of a proportion comparing a respective measured type of sleep with a corresponding normative type of sleep.

A processor-readable medium, having stored thereon processor-executable instructions which, when executed by a processor adapted to access measured data representing user movement detected by a movement sensor, cause the processor to promote sleep, the processor-executable instructions comprising:

• instructions to process the measured data and determining sleep factors with features derived from the measured data;
• instructions to generate at least one of a mind recharge indicator and a body recharge indicator, based on the determined sleep factors;
• and
• instructions to control a display of at least one of the mind recharge indicator and the body recharge indicator, wherein at least one of the mind recharge indicator and the body recharge indicator comprises a visual representation of a proportion comparing a respective measured type of sleep with a corresponding normative type of sleep.

An apparatus to promote a user's sleep comprising:

• a processor adapted to access measured data representing user movement detected by a movement sensor, the processor configured to process the measured data and determine sleep factors with features derived from the measured data;
• the processor further configured to generate a sleep score based on the determined sleep factors;
• and
• a display for displaying the sleep score, wherein the processor controls the display to display the sleep score and wherein the sleep factors from which the sleep score is based include two or more of:
• total sleep time, deep sleep time, REM sleep time, light sleep time, wake after sleep onset time, and sleep onset time, and
• wherein the sleep score comprises a total having a plurality of component values, each component value determined with a function of at least one measured sleep factor and at least one predetermined normative value for the sleep factor, and
• wherein the function comprises a weighting variable wherein a weighting is multiplied by the predetermined normative value, and
• wherein the processor is configured to control the display for displaying at least one of a mind recharge indicator and a body recharge indicator wherein at least one of the indicators comprises a visual representation of a proportion comparing a respective measured type of sleep with a corresponding normative type of sleep.
