Abstract

An air-conditioner and a method for controlling the same are disclosed. The apparatus and method for controlling the sleep mode of the air-conditioner provides an optimum air-conditioning effect suitable for individual sleep stages in consideration of temperature characteristics of the sleep stages of a sleeping human being, such that it can provide the sleeping human being with an optimum sleep mode. The apparatus includes a room temperature sensor for detecting a room temperature; and a controller for controlling the sleep mode when the sleep mode begins, such that it executes a sleep-entrance stage for a rapid cooling mode during which the room temperature is quickly reduced to a first temperature less than a setup temperature, executes a deep-sleep stage for gradually increasing the room temperature to a second temperature higher than the setup temperature, and executes a wake-up stage for increasing the room temperature to a third temperature higher than the second temperature.
