And characteristic, ANSI/CTA/NSF-2052.1, in September, 2016.
Two kinds of major type of sleeps: rapid eye movement (REM) sleep and non-rapid eye movement (non-REM) sleep.Sleep cycle
Typically last for about 90 minutes, rapid-eye-movement sleep and NREM sleep in sleep cycle alternately.Non-rapid eye movement
Sleep is divided into three phases: the stage 1 (" N1 ", drowsy sleep), stage 2 (" N2 ", hypophypnosis) and stage 3 (" N3 ",
Deep sleep).
The N1 stage is the awake transition stage between sleep, it is characterized in that very light and be easy the sleep being disturbed.?
During N1 sleeps, breathing becomes more regular and decreased heart rate.N1 sleep typically lasts for accounting for about total sleep less than 10 minutes
The 2-5% of time.The N2 stage is the deeper stage of sleep.N2, which sleeps, accounts for about the 45-50% of total sleep time, because sleeper is whole
Night is multiple by the N2 stage.The N3 stage is deep sleep.During N3 sleeps, brain temperature, respiratory rate, heart rate and blood pressure are all
In the floor level of its own.Deep sleep and reparation and regenerating tissues, building bone and muscle and enhancing immune system
It is related.
REM sleep is the relevant sleep stage of random motion to eyes.REM sleep accounts for about the 20- of total sleep time
25%.First period of REM sleep starts from starting in sleep and for about about 90 minutes after ten minutes.In addition, REM sleep
Sleep period second half section more commonly, so that the last REM stage can last up to about 60 minutes.It is slept in rapid eye movement
It sleeps during (REM), heart rate, respiratory rate and blood pressure increase.Further, since brain activity is frequent, have a dream in REM sleep more general
Time.REM with save memory and to establish nerve connections related.
Because deep sleep and REM sleep are the most parts of reproducibility in sleep cycle, in deep sleep and/or
The excessively most sleep period of REM sleep moderate is most beneficial.Using at least one remote equipment over time by program
Control can manipulate the target temperature of mattress pad.Because at least one remote equipment can be used to manipulate target temperature,
These target temperatures can be steered during sleep period, to allow user to spend in REM and/or deep sleep more
Time.
The sleep cycle figure of Figure 20 A shows ortho person.Ortho person enters deep sleep in sleep period
3-5 times.
The sleep cycle figure of Figure 20 B shows sleep disorder person.The characteristics of unpeaceful sleep is seldom deep sleep
Or there is no deep sleep.In addition, sleep cycle is non-uniform.Sleeper may wake up several times whole night, and return to sleep and have
It is difficult.In addition, as shown in Figure 19 B, the time of sleep may be delayed by and/or sleeper may wake up earlier.
Figure 20 C shows the sleep cycle figure for the sleeper being affected by temperature.Mattress pad 11 keeps user nice and cool to cause to sleep
It sleeps the period.It, can be using additional refrigeration to extend the time spent in deep sleep when user is in deep sleep.It can
To apply slight heating (for example, 0.278 DEG C/min (0.5 °F/minute)) in sleep cycle, so as at faster speed
User is set to go to REM sleep from deep sleep, so that spending the less time in N2 sleep.Terminate in a upper sleep cycle
When, temperature (for example, 0.278 DEG C/min (0.5 °F/minute)) is increased lightly to wake up user.Advantageously, by increasing temperature
Degree can prevent Sleep inertia lightly to wake up user.Sleep inertia is characterized in cognition and motion function variation after revival.
Restore to take several hours from Sleep inertia, this (such as is opened to needing to make important decision or safely execute task
Vehicle) individual for be a kind of danger.
