The present invention relates to a wake-up method and a wake-up apparatus using the same.
Background
Alarm clocks and the like have a method of waking up a person during rapid eye movement sleep (patent documents 1 to 3). The contents of which are explained below. First, when a person sleeps, there are repeatedly a non-rapid eye movement sleep period of deep sleep and a rapid eye movement sleep period of light sleep. When a person is woken up in this fast eye movement sleep period of shallow sleep, the person can wake up without drowsiness. Can wake up comfortably. On the other hand, when a person is woken up in a non-rapid eye movement sleep period of deep sleep, it is woken up (sleep inertia) with drowsiness maintained, and it is painful for 1 day. That is, the device wakes up in an uncomfortable state.
In addition, the non-rapid eye movement sleep time period and the rapid eye movement sleep time period exist repeatedly, the cycle is usually repeated 4-5 times, and then the patient wakes up in the morning. The period is typically about 90 minutes.
In patent documents 1 to 3, a rapid eye movement time period and a non-rapid eye movement time period are monitored from the start of sleep by a sensor or the like. The above-mentioned cycle is calculated from the start of sleep and the person is woken up in the fast eye movement sleep period.

Detailed Description
The embodiments are described below, but these embodiments are merely an example of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited thereto.
(embodiment 1) basic mode
Fig. 1 is a graph in which the vertical axis represents the depth of sleep of a certain person and the horizontal axis represents time.
The vertical axis is illustrated. The upper sleep is light rapid eye movement sleep, and the lower sleep is deep non-rapid eye movement sleep.
Here, Rapid Eye Movement sleep (REM sleep) is sleep accompanied by Rapid Eye Movement (REM). Also denoted as REM sleep. Rapid eye movement sleep is light sleep (can wake a person with a weak stimulus), and when woken up in this period, can be woken up comfortably.
Sleep without rapid eye movement is non-rapid eye movement sleep (non-rapid eye movement): non-rapid eye movement sleep, Non-REM sleep). The existence of rapid eye movement sleep was confirmed in 1953 according to the studies of Eugenia Artherinski (Eugene Aserinsky) and Nasannier Kleitman (Nathanil Kleitman) at Chicago university. Non-rapid eye movement sleep is a deep sleep, difficult to wake up during this period, when forced, creates sleep inertia, and can be uncomfortable. It is difficult to wake up.
The horizontal axis is explained. In this example, the user sleeps at 12 pm (24 pm). One cycle every about 90 minutes. The period is indicated by a dashed line.
In fig. 1, after 12 o 'clock (24 o' clock) bedtime, rapid eye movements and non-rapid eye movements were repeated in a usual 90-minute cycle. Since it is to be woken up at point 7, a first time window 61 is set.
(1) Variation of time periods of rapid and non-rapid eye movements
In fig. 1, the state above the sleep stage 1 is indicated by rapid eye movement, and the state below the sleep stage 1 is indicated by non-rapid eye movement. After bedtime, the first non-rapid eye movement N1 to the fifth non-rapid eye movement N5 and the first rapid eye movement R1 to the fourth rapid eye movement R4 alternately appear respectively. As time progresses, the time period of non-rapid eye movement decreases and the time period of rapid eye movement increases. The period S, the initial length R of the rapid eye movement, and the increment RZ of the rapid eye movement can be set. The period S is about 90 minutes. The period of rapid eye movement increases the above-mentioned increase RZ every minute from the initial length R. However, this may vary depending on the person, season, and the like.
(2) With respect to the period S
The period S differs from person to person. The period S depends on each person. In addition, it is said that each individual also varies depending on the age, race, constitution, and the like of the individual. The same person is said to change depending on the temperature and season. The average period S was 90 minutes.
(3) With respect to the first time window 61
The first time window 61 sets the interval of two moments. The interval T is variable, but here, an example in which the interval T is 20 minutes is shown. With respect to the time to wake up at point 7, a point 6 and 40, which is an earlier time before the time to wake up, and a point 7, which is the time to wake up, are set. This method is a method that can wake up a person comfortably before a target wake-up time. Only two moments are set. The time when the setting is not repeated or changed. This is not a wake-up method for a nap.
The earlier time is the first time 51, in this case 6 o 'clock 40 minutes, and the later time is the second time 52, in this case 7 o' clock of the target wake-up time. In this case, a wake-up signal for waking up the person is transmitted at the two instants. The wake-up signals are a first wake-up signal 51c with an earlier time instant and a second wake-up signal 52c with a later time instant. The first wake-up signal 51c is set to be weaker than the second wake-up signal 52c, for example. The second wake-up signal 52c sets the wake-up signal to be stronger than the first wake-up signal 51 c. The details are described in embodiment 2.
Further, the wake-up signal is a signal that stimulates a person by sound, vibration, light, electricity, or the like. A typical alarm clock is a sound. The mobile phone sometimes vibrates. Other signals are also possible.
Ideally, the first time 51 is set to a fast eye movement sleep period, waking up the person with the first wake-up signal 51 c. It is desirable to wake up the person comfortably with the weaker first wake-up signal 51 c. However, as shown in fig. 1, in the case where the first wake-up signal 51c is set to the non-rapid eye movement period, there is no wake-up with the weaker first wake-up signal 51 c. The forced wake-up during the fast eye movement sleep period is performed with a stronger signal of the second wake-up signal 52 c. In the worst case, the second time 52 is a non-rapid eye movement period and is also forcibly awakened. In this case, the device wakes up at a predetermined time, although uncomfortable.
Further, no signal is transmitted except for two times. Two times are predetermined, and the time at which the signal is transmitted is not repeatedly changed.
To set the first wake-up signal 51c in the fast eye movement period, a second time window 62 is set. The following description is made.
(4) Second time window 62
The first time window 61 is shifted to an earlier time to set the first time 51 to a nearby fast eye movement time period. It is also possible to change the interval T without moving it, so that only the first moment 51 is moved to an earlier moment and the second moment 52 remains as the moment to wake up.
The first time instant 51 of the second time window 62 in fig. 1 is present in the fourth rapid eye movement 24. The second time 52 is present in the fifth rapid eye movement 25. At this time, the first wake-up signal 51c is transmitted, and the person can wake up with the weaker first wake-up signal 51 c. Can be comfortably woken up and can be pleasantly spent in the morning hours. It can also be woken up by the second wake-up signal 52c in the fast eye movement period, provided that it is not woken up by the first wake-up signal 51 c. The result is that it can wake up comfortably regardless of which signal it is awakened.
When in the morning, the non-rapid eye movement period is shorter than 20 minutes. As a result, when the interval T of the time window is set to 20 minutes or more, at least either of the first time 51 or the second time 52 at both ends is in the rapid eye movement sleep time zone, and the person can be reliably awakened in the rapid eye movement sleep time zone.
Further, since the rapid eye movement and the non-rapid eye movement time periods differ from person to person, the interval T is preferably set to 15 minutes to 25 minutes.
The interval T is preferably a time interval that a person can adjust or change to suit himself.
Preferably, only two wake-up times and wake-up signals are set. For example, a signal that is sustained for a certain time is not required for comfortable waking up.
(embodiment 2) setting of the first wake-up signal 51c and the second wake-up signal 52c
In embodiment 2, the first wake-up signal 51c and the second wake-up signal 52c are described as sounds, but other signals such as light and vibration may be used. As long as it is a signal capable of giving a stimulus to a human. The two signals may be a combination of light, vibration, and sound.
The first wake-up signal 51c has a width 51a and a strength 51b, and the second wake-up signal 52c has a width 52a and a strength 52 b.
The first wake-up signal 51c has a smaller volume and a shorter width (time) than the second wake-up signal 52. The first wake-up signal 51c is a signal for waking up a person less frequently in a fast eye movement period. The second wake-up signal 52c is a signal for safing without being woken up by the first wake-up signal 51 c. And thus a stronger wake-up signal. Only either the width or the volume may be changed.
However, the first wake-up signal 51c may be set to a level equal to or higher than that of the second wake-up signal 52, depending on the preference of a person. A setting unit may be provided.
That is, the first wake-up signal 51c is a signal that can wake up the person in the fast eye movement period, but cannot wake up the person in the non-fast eye movement period. The second wake-up signal 52c is a signal that is capable of waking up the person in the fast eye movement periods and in the non-fast eye movement periods. The level of the wake-up signal varies from person to person as long as the intensity adjustment is possible.
Therefore, when the wake-up signal is a sound, the first wake-up signal 51c is smaller than 60 bB. Preferably 50bB or less. The second wake-up signal 52c is greater than 50bB, preferably greater than 60 bB.
When the wake-up signal is light, the first wake-up signal 51c is the brightness of the light source and is less than 20000 lux. Preferably 30000 lux or less. The second wake-up signal 52c is larger than 20000 lux, preferably above 30000 lux. The light source is at a brightness of 30cm from the eye. The brightness at the eye becomes one tenth of the above value.
Table 1 is used to illustrate all cases where the first and second wake-up signals 51c and 52c, the fast eye movement period and the non-fast eye movement period can be taken. Since the rapid eye movement sleep appearance time becomes long in the early morning, the description is made assuming that the appearance frequency of the rapid eye movement period and the non-rapid eye movement period is 1/2.
In modes 1 and 2, the first wake-up signal 51 can be set in a period of rapid eye movement, and therefore can be woken up comfortably at that time.
In mode 3, in the case where the first wake-up signal 51c is in the non-fast eye movement period and the second wake-up signal 52c is in the fast eye movement period, it is not possible to wake up with the first wake-up signal 51c, but with the second wake-up signal 52c having a larger output. It is also possible, although not very comfortable, to be able to wake up during periods of rapid eye movement.
In the mode 4, in the case where the first wake-up signal 51c is in the non-fast eye movement period and the second wake-up signal 52c is in the non-fast eye movement period, it is not possible to wake up with the first wake-up signal 51c but is forcibly woken up by the second wake-up signal 52 c. Is awoken uncomfortably. But can wake up at the target wake up time. As a result, the person can be awakened with a probability of three-quarters.
[ Table 1]
| Mode(s) | First wake-up |
Second wake-up |
Results | Evaluation of |
| 1 | Rapid eye movement | Rapid eye movement | Is awakened by the first wake-up |
◎ |
| 2 | Rapid eye movement | Non-rapid eye movement | Is awakened by the first wake-up |
◎ |
| 3 | Non-rapid eye movement | Rapid eye movement | Is awakened by the second wake-up |
○ |
| 4 | Non-rapid eye movement | Non-rapid eye movement | Is awakened by the second wake-up |
△ |
In the pattern 4, the interval T of the time window is not appropriate, and therefore, it is preferable to be able to set the interval T to be changeable. That is, in the case of being awoken uncomfortably, that is, in the case of the pattern 4, the interval T of the time window is changed to be increased. Preferably, the interval T of the time window is set to correspond to a person and the time thereof. In this way, the person can be awakened with a probability of four quarters.
In addition, in the case where the mode 3 is uncomfortable, it is also preferable to increase the interval T of the time window. If the first wake-up signal 51c is made to be in the fast eye movement period, it can be comfortably woken up.
And no further wake-up signal is transmitted between intervals T of the time window. However, the second wake-up signal 52c may be provided a plurality of times. In order to be able to wake up quietly and comfortably, the first wake-up signal 51c is preferably only once.
Alternatively, the time window may be shifted without changing the interval T, and the time may be shifted so that the first time comes into the rapid eye movement period.
(embodiment 3) interval T of time window
In embodiment 2, the interval T at which the time window is changed is described. However, even for the same person, the periods S of the rapid eye movement period and the non-rapid eye movement period vary depending on the season, the temperature, the time, and the like. Therefore, in embodiment 3, the interval T of the time window is changed for each season. The items not described are the same as those in embodiments 1 and 2.
Even a person who wakes up at 7 o 'clock normally has a day that wakes up at 4 o' clock or the like depending on the situation. In this case, how to set the interval T of the time window will be described below. In this case, as shown in fig. 1, the width of the non-rapid eye movement time varies from time to time. In the case of short sleep time, the non-rapid eye movement time period is long. Therefore, the interval T of the time window is widened compared to usual so that at least one of the two ends (the first wake-up signal 51c, the second wake-up signal 52c) leaves the non-rapid eye movement period and enters the rapid eye movement period.
An example is shown in table 2 below. The interval T of the time window may be set to be equal to or longer than the non-rapid eye movement period. Table 2 shows the relationship between the time since sleep onset and the non-rapid eye movement period.
[ Table 2]
| Time since sleep onset | Non-rapid eye movement time interval (minute) | Interval T of |
| 2 point | 52.5 | 52.5～60 |
| 4 points | 37.5 | 37.5～45 |
| 5 point | 22.5 | 22.5～25 |
| 6 point and 30 point | 7.5 | 7.5～15 |
In addition, the non-rapid eye movement time period and the rapid eye movement time period vary depending on the air temperature and the season. For example, when a person sleeps at 12 o 'clock, wakes up at 7 o' clock, and sets the interval T of the time window to 20 minutes in spring and fall, it is preferable to shorten the interval to 10 minutes in summer and to lengthen the interval to 30 minutes in winter, as shown in table 3.
The temperature is high in summer, and the period S is short and fast. On the other hand, the temperature is low in winter, and the period S is long. The interval T of the time window is preferably changed according to different situations.
[ Table 3]
| Season | Interval of time window T (minutes) |
| Spring and autumn (15) | 20 |
| Summer (20) | 10 |
| Winter (5) | 30 |
That is, it is preferable to change the interval T according to the time, season, or temperature since the start of sleep.
(embodiment 4): wake-up device
The wake-up apparatus 11 according to embodiment 4 will be described with reference to fig. 3A to 3C.
Fig. 3A and 3B are diagrams showing a relationship between the wake-up apparatus 11 and the awakened person 10.
Fig. 3C is a diagram showing an example of information in the wake-up apparatus 11.
< summary of alarm clock 11 >
The wake-up apparatus 11 receives an input of information 12 from the awakened person 10 through the input unit 11 a. The wake-up unit 11 returns an output 15. For example, the information 12 is the wake-up time and the output 15 is a speaker, a bell, etc.
The wake-up unit 11 is an alarm clock, a mobile phone, a smart phone, a mobile device, a personal computer, or the like. The input unit 11a is a keyboard, a liquid crystal panel, or the like. The control unit 11b is a semiconductor element, a semiconductor processor, or the like. The output 15 is a buzzer, a lighting device, etc. In addition, instead of the output 15 being sound, light, etc., the information 13 may be sent as output 15 to a third device that emits sound, light, etc.
It is preferable to have a recording unit 11e capable of storing past data, a database, and the like. May be a semiconductor element, a memory, etc.
The awakened person 10 is a person to be awakened by the awakening device 11.
The information 12 is the target wake up time. In this example, it means that the wake-up is performed at 6 o' clock. However, the bedtime is required, and in this case, the time at which the input is made is set as the bedtime. The bedtime may be set separately. As a result, the sleep time can be determined from the wake-up scheduled time, and the settings described in embodiments 1 to 3 can be performed (fig. 1 and 2).
The output 15 is two signals (a first wake-up signal 51c, a second wake-up signal 52c) set according to the wake-up time.
< processing step of alarm clock 11 >
The wake-up unit 11 has an input unit 11a for receiving the information 12, a control unit 11b for calculating the information 13 from the information 12, and a transmission unit 11c for transmitting an output 15.
Here, the information 13 is a command to the output 15, and in this case, it is a ring (wake-up signal) at two times.
Fig. 3A and 3B are used to explain the description. First, the awakened person 10 inputs the awakening time (information 12) to the awakening device 11 through the input unit 11 a. The wake-up apparatus 11 creates fig. 1 from the information 12 by the control unit 11 b. Alternatively, fig. 1 previously fabricated was used. The alarm clock 11 records the cycle S, the initial fast eye movement value R, and the fast eye movement increment RZ of the awakened person 10 in a recording unit or the like in advance. Or have their standard values. These values were used to make figure 1. The bedtime may be the input of the information 12, the bedtime set in the past, or another bedtime input.
In the case of regular life, fig. 1, which records a normal pattern, may be used to operate the wake-up apparatus 11 based on the recorded pattern.
In addition, another mode may be provided in addition to the normal mode. For example, an early-start mode, a late-start mode, a summer mode, a winter mode, a night shift mode, etc. Can be selectively utilized.
Next, the control unit 11b sets the first time window 61. If the time of the first time 51 is the fast eye movement period, the time of the information 12 is set to the second time 52. On the other hand, if the time of the first wake-up signal 51 is a non-fast eye movement period, the second time window 62 is set such that the time of the first wake-up signal 51 enters the fast eye movement period. In this case, the second time window 62 is moved to an earlier timing. In this case, the second time 52 also shifts to an earlier time. When the time of the second time window 62 (the first time 51, the second time 52) is reached, the control unit 11b transmits the output 15 to the transmission unit 11 c.
As a result, the awakened person 10 can be awakened by the output 15 (first wake-up signal 51 c). Without being woken up by the first wake-up signal 51c, is woken up by the second wake-up signal 52 c.
The transmitter 11c may transmit the first wake-up signal 51c and the second wake-up signal 52c to a third device and output them (light, sound, etc.) from the third device. In this case, if at least one of the first wake-up signal 51 and the second wake-up signal 52 can be set in the fast eye movement period, the user can wake up comfortably.
< Effect >
The possibility that the awakened person 10 can be comfortably awakened by the first wake-up signal 51c is high. In the worst case, it can also be woken up by the second wake-up signal 52 c.
(embodiment 5) network and variation in age, sex, season, etc
In embodiment 5, the period S, the initial length R of rapid eye movement, and the increment RZ of rapid eye movement are considered to be influenced by age, gender, season, and the like. Fig. 4A to 4C show a structure of embodiment 5. Unlike embodiment 4, the present invention has a database 20 a. The items not described are the same as those in embodiments 1 to 4.
< standard database >
Fig. 4A and 4B are diagrams showing a relationship between the wake-up apparatus 11 and the awakened person 10.
Fig. 4C is a diagram showing an example of information in fig. 4A and 4B.
The wake-up apparatus 11 receives an input of information 12 (time to wake up, wake-up time) from the awakened person 10. Fig. 1 is created from the information 12 and the database 20a by the control unit 11 b. As a result, the information 13 (timing of issuing the signal) is set. The information 13 is transmitted to the transmitting unit 11 c. The output 15 is made at the wake-up instant.
An example of the database 20a is shown in fig. 5A.
Fig. 5A is a standard database. Standard period S, fast eye movement initial value R, fast eye movement increment RZ. The graph of fig. 1 is created from these period S, the initial fast-eye value R, the fast-eye increment RZ, and the wakeup time of the information 12, and the information 13 and the output 15 are created and transmitted.
Preferably, the information 12 includes two times, i.e., an awake time and a bedtime start time at the time of input. Alternatively, the bedtime start time may be input separately.

(embodiment 6) satisfaction and finding the optimum value from the satisfaction using the database thereof
In embodiments 1 to 5, two different signals are transmitted as the information 13 to the awakened person 10. However, the awakened person 10 may not be able to be awakened comfortably. The evaluation of the awakened person 10 is therefore provided here as information 14 to the awakening device 11. The items not described are the same as those in embodiments 1 to 5.
Fig. 6A and 6B are diagrams showing a relationship between the wake-up apparatus 11 and the awakened person 10.
Fig. 6C is a diagram showing an example of information in fig. 6A and 6B.
The awakened person 10 inputs information 12 (time to awaken) to the awakening device 11. The wake-up apparatus 11 creates information 13 from the database 20b and outputs 15 the created information to the awakened person 10. Heretofore, the same as the above embodiment.
Here, the awakened person 10 transmits the evaluation when awakened by the output 15 to the database 20b as the information 14. The information 14 is, for example, (o) when comfortably awakened. Difficult to wake up is (x). The control unit 11b obtains a plurality of times of comfortable waking from the o information 14, i.e., the first time 51. The period S, the initial value R, and the increment RZ are obtained from the average of a plurality of times. From these values, information 13 is created from information 12 (output 15). The user can wake up comfortably according to the period S, the initial value R and the increment RZ which are suitable for the user.
The average period S, the average initial value R, and the average increase RZ may be created for each season.
(embodiment 7) the wake-up unit 11 suggests several wake-up moments. A selection can be made.
In embodiment 7, the wake-up apparatus 11 suggests several wake-up times, unlike embodiments 1 to 6. The items not described are the same as those in embodiments 1 to 6.
Fig. 7A and 7B are diagrams showing a relationship between the wake-up apparatus 11 and the awakened person 10.
Fig. 7C is a diagram showing an example of information in fig. 7A and 7B.
The awakened person 10 inputs information 12 to the wake-up unit 11. The wake-up apparatus 11 calculates the information 23 by the control unit 11b based on the information 12, as in the above-described embodiment. However, in this embodiment, the output time and the time before or after the output time are returned to the wake-up apparatus 11 as the information 23 of the schemes 1 and 2. The awakened person 10 selects a scheme to be awakened from the schemes 1 and 2. This selection is sent as information 22 to the wake-up unit 11. The wake-up unit 11 performs the output 15 of the time instant of the information 22.
Here, the preceding and following times are the first time window 61 and the second time window 62 described in embodiment 4. Or two times when the first time 51 is at the end of the near rapid eye movement period.
According to this embodiment, the user can wake up more easily and at a more appropriate timing.
(embodiment 8) connection to third device
In embodiment 8, not only the wake-up apparatus 11 but also other apparatuses may be included. The items not described are the same as those in embodiments 1 to 7. Fig. 8 is a diagram showing information transmission and reception according to embodiment 8.
The wake-up unit 11 receives the information 12 and transmits not only the output 15 but also the information 16 to the external server 25. The information 16 is sent to the third device 91.
The information 16 is, for example, information output at two times, as in the case of the output 15. The output itself is explained below.
The third device 91 is a lighting device, a screen, a dedicated device, etc. By means of the output 15, half is lit up with the first output (first wake-up signal 51c) in case of a lighting device. All lit at the second output (second wake-up signal 52 c). In the case of a screen, half is turned on with the first output. And a second fully open.
Further, the data may be directly transmitted to the third device 91 without passing through the external server 25.
< application example 1 >
An eye mask may also be used as the third device 91. The eye mask is an object like an eye mask that covers eyes during nap and sleep. The eye cover is provided with a light source such as an LED, and the light source is caused to emit light by the wake-up signal to irradiate the eyes of the person to be woken up.
< application example 2 >
The smartphone is used as the wake-up apparatus 11, and the wake-up signal may be transmitted to the third device 91 by a communication means such as a cable or Bluetooth (Bluetooth).
< application example 3 >
It is also possible to install an optical fiber in the wake-up unit 11, from the end of which the light enters the eye of the person to be woken up. The eye is illuminated with a wake-up signal.
< application example 3 >
Alternatively, the earphone may be attached to the wake-up apparatus 11 and worn on the ear of the person to be woken up, so that the earphone can emit sound. The sound can be made to the ear using a wake-up signal.
(as a whole)
According to the method and the device, compared with the prior art, the probability that a person can wake up in a rapid eye movement state is very high, and the person can wake up comfortably.
Here, the snooze function is provided that transmits a wake-up sound in a short time. However, in the case of the snooze function, if it is a non-rapid eye movement period, it is forcibly awakened. Even in the rapid eye movement period, it is forcibly woken up with a loud sound. In addition, the intervals of the sounds are also short. Thus, it is not possible to wake up comfortably with a small wake-up signal as in the present invention.
The above embodiments can be combined with each other.
Industrial applicability
The wake-up method and the device using the wake-up method of the present invention can be utilized in clocks, alarm clocks, mobile devices, mobile phones, and the like.
