Abstract
Description
Die im Anspruch angegebene Erfindung ist für eine weckerähnliche Vorrichtung und ein Verfahren vorgesehen, die beim Menschen einen als physiologisch sinnvoll anzusehenden Weckzeitpunkt ermitteln und dann einen Weckvorgang einleiteten.The invention specified in the claim is for an alarm clock-like device and a Processes are provided which are considered to be physiologically meaningful in humans Determine the wake-up time and then initiate a wake-up process.
Der Schlaf des Menschen ist aus medizinischer Sicht in verschiedene ineinander übergehende Schlafzustände unterteilt (vgl. Abb. 1), die sich durch unterschiedliche physiologische Parameter unterscheiden. Die einzelnen Schlafstadien werden während des nächtlichen Schlafes drei- bis fünfmal durchlaufen, wobei die Schlaftiefe gegen Morgen abnimmt. Den gleichen periodischen Rhythmus weisen auch vegetative Funktionen (z. B. Herz- und Atemfrequenz), die EEG-Aktivität und die Spannung der Nackenmuskulatur auf. Besondere Bedeutung kommt der REM-(rapid eye movement) Phase zu, die durch schnelle Augenbewegungen, starke hirnelektrische Aktivität und paradoxerweise durch minimalen Muskeltonus und eine hohe Weckschwelle gekennzeichnet ist. Mit dieser Phase sind häufig Träume verbunden.From a medical point of view, human sleep is subdivided into different sleeping states (see Fig. 1), which differ in different physiological parameters. The individual sleep stages are run through three to five times during nighttime sleep, with the depth of sleep decreasing towards morning. Vegetative functions (e.g. heart and respiratory rate), EEG activity and tension in the neck muscles also have the same periodic rhythm. Of particular importance is the REM (rapid eye movement) phase, which is characterized by rapid eye movements, strong brain electrical activity and, paradoxically, by minimal muscle tone and a high alarm threshold. This phase is often associated with dreams.
Der natürliche Aufwachvorgang ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die schlafende Person sich in einer flachen Schlafphase mit einer geringen Schlaftiefe befindet und meist durch einen äußeren Reiz (Licht, Geräusch, Geruch, Berührung u. a.) geweckt wird. Je länger dabei die Schlafdauer und je flacher die Schlafphase ist, desto geringer liegt die Weckschwelle. Das künstliche Weckgeräusch des Weckers erweckt die schlafende Person in den meisten Fällen zu einem Zeitpunkt, an dem ein natürliches Aufwachen nicht zustande gekommen wäre. Der künstliche Weckvorgang ist somit per se unphysiologisch.The natural waking process is characterized by the fact that the sleeping person is in a shallow sleep phase with a low depth of sleep and mostly through an external stimulus (light, noise, smell, touch, etc.) is awakened. The longer the sleep duration and the flatter the sleep phase, the lower it is Alarm threshold. The artificial alarm sound of the alarm clock awakens the sleeping one Person in most cases at a time when natural waking up would not have come about. The artificial wake-up process is therefore per se non-physiological.
In der heutigen Zeit wird sehr viel Zeit unseres Tages durch den Blick auf die Uhr bestimmt, der Tag beginnt bei der arbeitenden Bevölkerung mit dem Wecken zu einem durch die Uhr festgelegten Zeitpunkt und im Laufe des Tages kommen weitere Termine hinzu. Wenige Menschen jedoch kennen genau ihre optimale Schlafdauer, der Wecker weckt zu einem bestimmten Zeitpunkt, unabhängig davon, ob die optimale Schlafzeit bereits erreicht ist oder nicht. So kommt es dazu, daß Menschen durch den Wecker in einer tieferen Schlafphase erweckt werden und unausgeschlafen reagieren, obwohl sie sich vor einer Viertelstunde bereits in einer flacheren Schlafphase befunden haben, in der ein Wecken wesentlich angenehmer gewesen wäre. Im einem anderen Fall wäre eine Viertelstunde mehr Schlaf mit anschließendem Wecken ebenfalls als angenehmer empfunden worden. In today's time, a lot of time of our day is by looking at the clock certainly, the day begins with the waking up to the working population Further appointments are made by the time and throughout the day added. However, few people know exactly their optimal sleep duration, the alarm clock wakes up at a certain time, regardless of whether the optimal sleep time has already been reached or not. So it happens that people in the alarm clock be awakened to a deeper sleep phase and react to being sleepy even though they are a quarter of an hour ago you were in a shallower sleep phase, in which waking up would have been much more pleasant. In another case, one would be Fifteen hours more sleep followed by waking up is also more pleasant been felt.
Die vorliegende Erfindung soll der schlafenden Person eine weitgehend physiologische und damit als angenehm empfundene Weckung ermöglichen. Dazu stellt die Person einen Weckzeitraum ein, in dem eine Weckung erwünscht ist. Der Wecker erkennt durch die Messung der Schlaftiefe (vgl. Abb. 2) mittels des Sensors, wann sich die schlafende Person innerhalb des vorgegebenen Weckzeitraumes in einer relativ flachen Schlafphase mit geringer Schlaftiefe befindet und leitet zu diesem Zeitpunkt die Weckung ein. Sollte die schlafende Person innerhalb des vorgegebenen Weckzeitraumes keine derartige Schlafphase erreichen, bzw. besteht eine Störung bezüglich der Schlafphasenerkennung, so weckt der Wecker zum Ende des vorgegebenen Weckzeitraumes.The present invention is intended to provide the sleeping person with a largely physiological and thus pleasant awakening. For this purpose, the person sets a wake-up period in which wake-up is desired. By measuring the sleep depth (see Fig. 2) using the sensor, the alarm clock recognizes when the sleeping person is in a relatively shallow sleep phase with a low sleep depth within the specified wake-up period and initiates the wake-up at this time. If the sleeping person does not reach such a sleep phase within the specified wake-up period, or if there is a disturbance with regard to the sleep phase detection, the alarm clock wakes up at the end of the specified wake-up period.
Beispiel 1:
Example 1:
Die flachste Schlafphase im Weckzeitraum wird kurz vor Ende des
Weckzeitraumes erreicht, der Pfeil markiert den Weckzeitpunkt, der in
diesem Fall als optimal anzusehen ist.
Beispiel 2:
The shallowest sleep phase in the wake-up period is reached shortly before the end of the wake-up period, the arrow marks the wake-up time, which in this case can be regarded as optimal. Example 2:
Die flachste Schlafphase im Weckzeitraum wird zu Beginn des
Weckzeitraumes erreicht, der Pfeil markiert den Weckzeitpunkt, der auch
in diesem Fall als optimal anzusehen ist. .
Beispiel 3:
The shallowest sleep phase in the wake-up period is reached at the start of the wake-up period, the arrow marks the wake-up time, which can also be regarded as optimal in this case. . Example 3:
Die flachste Schlafphase im Weckzeitraum wird kurz vor Ende des
Weckzeitraumes erreicht, der Pfeil markiert den Weckzeitpunkt. Der
Weckzeitpunkt ist nicht optimal, aber dennoch günstiger als 10 Minuten
zuvor.
Beispiel 4:
The shallowest sleep phase in the wake-up period is reached shortly before the end of the wake-up period, the arrow marks the wake-up time. The wake-up time is not optimal, but it is still cheaper than 10 minutes before. Example 4:
Die flachste Schlafphase im Weckzeitraum wird zur Mitte des Weckzeitraumes erreicht, der Pfeil markiert den Weckzeitpunkt, der auch in diesem Fall als optimal anzusehen ist. . The shallowest sleep phase in the wake-up period becomes the middle of the Wake-up period reached, the arrow marks the wake-up time, which too in this case is to be regarded as optimal. .
Eine flache Schlafphase wird im Weckzeitraum zu keinem Zeitpunkt im
Weckzeitraum erreicht, der Pfeil markiert den Weckzeitpunkt am Ende
des Weckzeitraums.
Beispiel 5:
A flat sleep phase is never reached during the wake-up period, the arrow marks the wake-up time at the end of the wake-up period. Example 5:
Durch diesen Wecker ist es zudem möglich auch bei zwangsweise kurzer Schlafmöglichkeit oder gewünschter kurzer Schlafdauer, bei der es dann weniger Flachschlafphasen gibt, trotzdem verhältnismäßig ausgeschlafen geweckt zu werden, indem ein entsprechender Weckzeitraum gewählt wird, in dem auch mindestens eine Flachschlafphase vorkommt. Im Prinzip wäre es mit diesem Wecker möglich, die Leistungsfähigkeit eines Menschen durch optimale Anpassung des Schlafes an seinen natürlichen Rhythmus auch unter ungewöhnlichen Bedingungen zu steigern. With this alarm clock, it is also possible even with a compulsory short one Possibility to sleep or desired short sleep duration, when it is less There are flat sleep phases, to be awakened relatively sleepy, by choosing an appropriate wake-up period, in which at least one Flat sleep phase occurs. In principle it would be possible with this alarm clock Performance of a person through optimal adaptation of sleep to his to increase natural rhythm even under unusual conditions.
Unter dem Aspekt der wirtschaftlichen Verwertbarkeit ist bei dieser Erfindung ein wirtschaftlicher Erfolg wahrscheinlich, da die Zahl der möglichen Käufer (ein Großteil der werktätigen Bevölkerung besitzt und benötigt einen Wecker) sehr groß ist und zudem heute ein gesteigertes Gesundheitsbewußtsein mit Besinnung auf natürliche Vorgänge vorherrscht. Ein Wecker, der verspricht, den Schlafenden möglichst schonend und ausgeschlafen zu wecken, ist wirtschaftlich sicher gut verwertbar.From the point of view of commercial utility, there is one in this invention economic success likely because of the number of potential buyers (much the working population owns and needs an alarm clock) is very large and also today an increased health awareness with reflection on natural Operations prevail. An alarm clock that promises to be as gentle on the sleeping person as possible and to wake up well slept is economically viable.
