Abstract
The present invention relates to systems for brain stimulation during sleep and methods for increasing vividness of a subject's dreams or for directing the subject matter of a subject's dreams. The system comprises a brain stimulation module and at least one of a brain energy source and/or a hypnotic source. The methods involve administering to a subject a brain energy molecule and/or a hypnotic and providing to the subject during restorative sleep a sensory stimulation.
Claims26
A system for brain stimulation during sleep, the system comprising:
- at least one of a brain energy supply source and a hypnotic source, wherein the brain energy supply source comprises a brain energy molecule and the hypnotic source comprises a hypnotic;
- a sensory stimulation unit;
- a recording unit, wherein the recording unit detects and records the stages of sleep;
- and
- a program to interpret records from the recording unit and activate the sensory stimulation unit, wherein the program directs activation of the sensory stimulation unit upon detection by the recording unit of restorative sleep and the sensory stimulation unit delivers at least one sensory stimulation selected from the group consisting of:
- sound, scent, taste, tactile, and visual.

A method of increasing vividness of a subject's dreams, the method comprising:
- administering to the subject, prior to the subject enters a period of sleep, a brain energy molecule configured to release less than 15% by weight of the brain energy molecule within 2 hours after administration, less than 60% of the brain energy molecule within the first 4 hours after administration, and at least 80% of the brain energy molecule within 8 hours after administration and configure so that the brain energy molecule is released at a sustained rate 2 hours after administration;
- and
- administering to the subject a hypnotic prior to the subject enters a period of sleep.
A method of directing the subject matter of a subject's dreams, the method comprising:
- administering to the subject a brain energy molecule configured to release less than 60% of the brain energy molecule within the first 4 hours after administration and at least 80% of the brain energy molecule within 8 hours after administration, wherein the brain energy molecule is released at a sustained rate 2 hours after administration prior to the subject goes to sleep;
- and
- stimulating the subject with at least one sensory stimulation selected from the group consisting of:
- sound, scent, taste, tactile, and visual when the subject is in restorative sleep.
