Abstract
Systems and methods for adjusting a user's circadian rhythm are described. In some embodiments, a system may include one or more input modules for collecting data, a light source, a processor system including one or more processors that controls the light source, and a memory system storing one or more machine instructions. The system may be configured to obtain light sensitivity data for a user, compare the user's light sensitivity data against calibration data, and based on at least the light sensitivity data and the calibration data, generate instructions for activating the light source to adjust the user's circadian rhythm.
Claims20
A system for adjusting a user's circadian rhythm, the system comprising:
- one or more input modules for collecting data;
- a light source;
- a processor system including one or more processors that controls the light source;
- a memory system storing one or more machine instructions, wherein the system is configured to:
- obtain light sensitivity data for a user, the light sensitivity data being probative of a user's light sensitivity during sleep;
- compare the user's light sensitivity data against calibration data, the calibration data indicating relationships between light sensitivity and one or more values for light flash duration, light flash frequency, and/or light flash intensity determined to present an acceptably low likelihood of disrupting sleep;
- and
- based on at least the light sensitivity data and the calibration data, generate instructions for activating the light source to adjust the user's circadian rhythm, the activations of the light source applying flashes of light having a duration, frequency, and/or intensity values determined to present an acceptably low likelihood of disrupting the user's sleep.
A method for adjusting a user's circadian rhythm, the method comprising:
- obtaining, via one or more input modules, light sensitivity data for a user, the light sensitivity data being probative of a user's light sensitivity during sleep;
- comparing the user's light sensitivity data against calibration data, the calibration data indicating relationships between light sensitivity and one or more values for light flash duration, light flash frequency, and/or light flash intensity determined to present an acceptably low likelihood of disrupting sleep;
- based on at least the light sensitivity data and the calibration data, generate, using a processor system comprising one or more processors, instructions for activating a light source to adjust the user's circadian rhythm;
- and
- based on the generated instructions, apply, using the light source, flashes of light having duration, frequency, and/or intensity values determined to present an acceptably low likelihood of disrupting the user's sleep.
