Abstract
A device for controlling respiration during sleep based on the user physiological characteristic. The device includes an odor disperser for dispersing an odor; at least one detector for detecting a physiological characteristic of a user; and a controller for controlling respiration of the user by instructing the odor dispenser to disperse an odor responsive to detections by the at least one detector.
Claims20
A method of controlling respiration, the method comprising:
- monitoring respiration sounds of a sleeper during a sleep period;
- and
- repeatedly dispersing an odor towards the sleeper during said sleep period in response to said monitoring, thereby controlling respiration of the sleeper.
