Allgemeine HinweiseGeneral information
Es gibt sehr viele Menschen, die große Schwierigkeiten beim Einschlafen haben. Viele Menschen werden in der Nacht wach und können nicht oder nur sehr schwer wieder einschlafen.There are many people who have great difficulty falling asleep. Many people wake up in the night and cannot or only very difficultly fall asleep again.
Die Erfindung soll dazu dienen, daß Menschen, die sich zur Ruhe legen, den Sleepling in der Hand halten, durch gleichmäßiges oder ungleichmäßiges Drücken der Taste, in Abständen von ca. 1 Sekunde, ermüden und dadurch zum Einschlafen kommen.The invention is intended to help people who are laying down to rest hold the Sleepling in their hand and tire themselves out by pressing the button evenly or irregularly at intervals of about 1 second, thereby falling asleep.
Auf der Skala des Sleeplings kann man ablesen, wie lang die Wach- oder Schlafphasen gewesen sind.The Sleepling scale shows how long the waking or sleeping phases were.
Außenstehende Personen, z. B. Ärzte oder Pfleger, können, wenn gewünscht, anhand des Druckers oder eines Monitors, den Verlauf der Nachtruhe beobachten.Outsiders, such as doctors or nurses, can, if desired, use the printer or a monitor to observe the progress of the night's sleep.
Versuche haben gezeigt, daß Menschen durch leichte, monotone körperliche Betätigung, z. B. durch leichtes Drücken der Taste eines kleines Gerätes, das sie in der Hand halten, schneller zur Ruhe kommen.Experiments have shown that people calm down more quickly through light, monotonous physical activity, for example by gently pressing the button on a small device that they are holding in their hand.
Die Betätigung einer Taste durch einen Menschen, kann, nach einer Gewöhnungszeit, auch während des Schlafens erfolgen. Hier kann man durch das Zerlegen der Zeitintervalle feststellen, wie die Ruhephase verlaufen ist.After a period of getting used to it, a person can press a button while sleeping. By breaking down the time intervals, it is possible to determine how the resting phase went.
Ich gehe davon aus, daß durch diese Erfindung vielen Menschen geholfen werden könnte.I assume that this invention could help many people.
