Systems and methods for preventing sleep disturbance

A sleep monitoring and disturbance mitigation system comprising:

• a sleep status monitoring apparatus configured to collect real-time sleep data from a subject;
• to determine a sleep status based at least partially on the sleep data;
• and to transmit the real-time sleep data and sleep status to a remote receiving station;
• and
• a remote receiving station configured to receive the real-time sleep status data and the sleep status from the sleep status monitoring apparatus;
• to generate, based at least partially on the real-time sleep data and sleep status, a sleep disturbance priority and a sleep disturbance message comprising data indicative of the sleep status and the sleep disturbance priority;
• to display the sleep disturbance message on a display located remotely from the sleep status monitoring apparatus;
• and to modify a priority ranking of disturbance events based on a plurality of subjects' responses to previously administering one or more disturbance events to said subjects, each subject of the plurality of subjects being remote from one another and separately connected to a sleep status monitoring apparatus, wherein each sleep status monitoring apparatus is connected to the remote receiving station via a network.
