BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a sleeping device that leads a person suffering from insomnia to sleep.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Many people suffer from insomnia, but the causes are various. Sometimes it's morbid, but most are mental. If you're worried or stressed, you'll be fascinated by it and hard to sleep. It often becomes stressful to think that you may not be able to sleep even more, and you may not be able to sleep further.

[0003] As a conventional method of resolving insomnia, for example, there has been the following method.

(A) take sleeping pills, (b) drink alcohol (alcohol), (c) drink milk, (d) take a bath, (e) read a book, (f) listen to music, (g) ) Teach the number.

[0005]

However, the above method (a) may become addictive and dangerous without a doctor's prescription. The method (b) is out of the question for those who cannot drink alcohol, but may also cause alcoholism and the like for those who can drink alcohol. (C) calcium intake,
It is said that the enhancement of blood circulation and the like by (d) relieves stress and is effective for a good night's sleep, but it cannot be said that it has a remarkable effect for insomnia people. About (e) to (g), there is a feeling of restlessness, and there is doubt about the practical effect.

According to recent studies on the effects of sound on brain waves, high-frequency sounds (2
It is reported that those who have more sounds that cannot be heard by a person with a frequency of 000 Hz or more) generate more α waves in brain waves, and the brain waves become closer to meditation. Therefore, hearing a sound (natural sound) containing many high-frequency sounds can stabilize the mind and lead to a good night's sleep.

It is said that a sound including a so-called 1 / f fluctuation which occurs naturally in the natural world promotes generation of an α wave. Sound including such fluctuations is electronically given as noise. For this reason, when a natural sound (wave sound, babbling sound, rain sound, etc.) is configured using noise as a sound source, an electronic sound that is more effective for mental stability can be created than recording and reproducing the natural sound as it is. .

On the other hand, in recent years, studies have been made on scents that are good for mental stability. In particular, scent components (phytontides) in forests contain a lot of components that are effective for sleep that generates a lot of α waves. It is clear that

The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a sleep onset device that leads a user to a good night's sleep by a synergistic action of sound and aroma.

[0010]
