Abstract
A device and method for inducing sleep, improving blood circulation, and correcting autonomous imbalances. The device includes a heat exchange member mounted on top of housing, the heat exchange member can receive a neck of a user and apply alternate hot and cold stimuli to the neck. The hot and cold stimuli improve blood circulation and correct the autonomous imbalances. The device includes a drive module and a heat sink to quickly switch from hot to cold.
Claims10
A device for inducing sleep and improving blood circulation, the device comprising:
- a housing;
- a heat exchange member mounted on a top of the housing, wherein the heat exchange member is configured to contact at least a neck of a user, and apply alternate hot and cold stimuli in predetermined intervals to the neck;
- a heat sink and a fan to quickly dissipate heat from the heat exchange member;
- and
- a drive module for controlling the heat exchange member based on the predetermined intervals, wherein the drive module is configured to keep the heat exchange member at 106° F. for about 40 seconds, and thereafter cool down to 64° F. within about 25 seconds and keep the heat exchange member at 64° F. for about 30 seconds.
A method for inducing sleep, improving blood circulation, and correcting autonomous imbalances, the method comprising:
- providing a device comprising:
