optionally, a low-light environment and a state where sound interferes with the sleeper can be provided, and the sleeper can be guided to enter the shallow sleep state by generating electric waves consistent with the electroencephalogram characteristics in the shallow sleep period, wherein the process is gradual, so that the sleeper is prevented from generating serious discomfort;

in step S33, when it is detected that the brain wave variation law exhibits a shallow sleep period characteristic under the sleep intervention condition, executing the first wake-up strategy;

for example, the following steps are carried out: after the sleeper is guided to the light sleep state by the music from the deep sleep, the sound of the waking alarm clock is played immediately to prevent the sleeper from recovering to the non-light sleep state, and it is worth mentioning that the first wake-up strategy is executed again immediately when the sleeper is detected to be in the sleep state again.

In one embodiment, the recorded sleep cycle prediction duration is determined to be a default value or an average value of a plurality of detected sleep cycle durations according to the brain wave change rule;

optionally, the sleep cycle duration is a duration of a light sleep period, a sound sleep period, a deep sleep period, and a rapid eye movement period of the sleeper in sequence, for example: awakening suddenly during the water's course, the lack of a corresponding sleep stage, which does not count into the length of the sleep cycle.
