Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] Industrial application field This invention relates to an insomnia reliever that applies purely psychological therapy.

〓Summary of the invention〓 This is an insomnia reliever that creates a hypnotic sound effect by repeating the action of switching the sound of raindrops generated regularly at predetermined intervals for a predetermined time in a randomly determined order. While concentrating on this periodic hypnotic sound effect and anticipating its regularity, one feels a slight sense of fatigue and is naturally drawn to sleep.

〓Conventional technology〓 Traditionally, some patients who suffer from stubborn insomnia become accustomed to taking tranquilizers and sleeping pills, and the side effects of the drugs end up outweighing the therapeutic effects. Therefore, if an insomnia reliever using purely psychological therapy without such side effects could be developed, its effects would be immeasurable.

〓Problems that the invention aims to solve〓 The purpose of this invention is to provide an insomnia relief device that is easy to operate, can be used by anyone, and is purely psychological therapy with no worries about side effects. be.

〓Means for solving the problem〓 In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the insomnia reliever of this invention includes a raindrop sound generation circuit that generates raindrop sound regularly at predetermined intervals, and an output of the raindrop sound generation circuit. an indeterminate time switching circuit that repeats switching operations in the same order after switching in a randomly determined order for a predetermined time, an amplifier circuit that amplifies the output of the irregular time switching circuit, and an electro-acoustic circuit connected to the amplification circuit. It is equipped with a converter and a timer circuit that gradually reduces the output volume after startup and then stops supplying power to all circuits.

〓Effect〓 By doing this, the user can repeatedly hear the raindrop sound switched in a randomly determined order, so the user can concentrate on the clear raindrop sound and predict its regularity. While you are there, you will feel a slight feeling of fatigue and will be naturally induced to sleep, and the insomnia reliever will automatically stop after a predetermined period of time.

〓Example〓 An example of this invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram thereof, and FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing the arrangement of the generated hypnotic sound effects.

The insomnia reliever includes (for example) a raindrop sound generating circuit 1 that regularly generates one raindrop sound per second, an irregular time switching circuit 2 that switches its output to create a hypnotic sound effect, and a number of switches 1 to 4. It is composed of a random number generating circuit 3 that generates random numbers, an amplifier circuit 4, a speaker 5, and a power supply 6 with a built-in timer.

The irregular time switching circuit 2 generates the raindrop sound generated by the raindrop sound generation circuit 1 at a rate of one drop per second.
By switching and thinning out 2 or 5 numbers for each number 1 to 4 generated by the random number generation circuit 3, a hypnotic sound effect arranged as shown in FIG. 2 is created.

To explain the arrangement of hypnotic sound effects, a set of 1 to 4 consecutive raindrop sounds randomly generated (1, 2, 3, and 3 arranged vertically in the figure)
Create the first verse by arranging 5 sets (groups of 2 and 4) by removing the two raindrop sounds between each,
Next, five raindrops are removed to create a second verse consisting of five sets, and five are removed again to create a third verse.

Then, a group consisting of these three verses is stored as a unit, and this unit group is repeatedly created and output.

The timer built-in power supply 6 gradually lowers the amplification degree of the amplifier circuit 4 after starting, and stops power supply to all circuits when a preset time has elapsed. The setting of the time until stopping can be adjusted as desired.

Next, its effect will be explained.

When you place the insomnia reliever next to your pillow, set the timer for 15 minutes, and start it, the group of raindrops in verses 1 to 3 will go around, and then the same group of verses 1 to 3 will be repeated again. Since the same group is heard repeatedly one after another, the user will feel mild fatigue while concentrating on the clear sound of raindrops and anticipating its regularity, and will naturally fall asleep. I'm invited. The output volume of the insomnia reliever gradually decreases over time, and it stops working after 15 minutes.

The random numbers 1 to 4 that make up each set of the 1st to 3rd verses will be a different number sequence each time you use the insomnia reliever, so there is no risk of getting used to it due to continuous use, and the expected effect will always be achieved. be done.

Note that the number generated by the random number generation circuit 3 is
Not limited to 1-4, 1-5, 1-6
etc. can be set arbitrarily.

In addition, in the above embodiment, the unit group is 5.
Although it is configured by an arrangement of 3 sets of verses, it is not limited to this, and other arrangements may be used (for example, 4 sets of 4 verses, 6 sets of 2 verses, etc.). A means for changing the settings may be provided.

Furthermore, instead of the random number generation circuit 3, it is also possible to provide a ROM that stores several types of predetermined sequences, and randomly select one sequence from among them to generate a hypnotic sound effect. It is.

Further, earphones may be provided in addition to the speaker 5 and used selectively.

〓Effects of the invention〓 As explained above, the insomnia reliever of this invention is easy to operate and can be used by anyone, and since it applies purely psychological therapy, it is safe with no worries about side effects. This means that it can be easily used at home without the need for a doctor's assistance, and the irregular time switching circuit switches the output of the raindrop sound generating circuit in a randomly determined order for a predetermined period of time, and then in the same order. By repeating the switching operation, the regularity of the output raindrop sound differs each time it is used, so there is no fear of getting used to it due to continuous use, and a good hypnotic effect can always be expected.
