Abstract
Methods and systems are disclosed herein for establishing communication with users based on biometric data. For example, in response to determining that a user has a particular biometric state, the media guidance application may present an option to contact another user that is associated with that biometric state.

A method comprising:
- determining, using control circuitry, a current biometric state of a user based on a measured biometric signal;
- determining that the current biometric state of the user corresponds to a stored rule which identifies a pre-defined time slot;
- determining that a current time is within the pre-defined time slot;
- in response to determining that the current biometric state corresponds to the stored rule and that the current time is within the pre-defined time slot, disabling functionality of a device associated with the user.

A system comprising:
- sensor circuitry for generating a biometric signal;
- control circuitry configured to:
- determine a current biometric state of a user based on a generated biometric signal;
- determine that the current biometric state of the user corresponds to a stored rule which identifies a pre-defined time slot;
- determine that a current time is within the pre-defined time slot;
- in response to determining that the current biometric state corresponds to the stored rule and that the current time is within the pre-defined time slot, disable functionality of a device associated with the user.
