[Example] In this example, the relaxation room 1 is equipped with a relaxation induction device, and the refreshment room 2 is equipped with a refreshment stimulation device. does not necessarily require two rooms. In the relaxation room 1, there is a stress relief device 3 that uses vibrations etc. to relieve tension as a relaxation induction device.
A fragrance generator 4 that generates a scent that removes mental tension (for example, the scent of lavender), a white noise generator 5 that masks internal and external noises, etc. are installed, and this type of relaxation induction is provided. The device removes mental tension. Further, a notification device 6 indicating the end of use of the relaxation inducing device is also arranged in the relaxation room 1. This notification device 6 notifies the user of the end of use of the relaxation inducing device by increasing the illuminance of the light and blinking the light. Further, the usage time of the relaxation inducing device may be set to a fixed time, but the end of use may be determined by measuring the degree of relaxation of the user. In the refresh room 2, as a refresh stimulation device,
A cool air blower device 7 that provides stimulation with low-temperature wind, a high-intensity lighting device 8 and a mirror 9 that create a sense of tension with light, and an aroma generator 10 that generates a scent that increases the level of consciousness (for example, a scent such as peppermint) etc. are arranged. Here, the high-intensity lighting device 8 is placed on the ceiling. By using such a refresh stimulation device, the user's level of consciousness is raised, making it easier to return to work.
