When it is detected that the aroma is supplied at a predetermined first amount for a predetermined time and the head mounted device is worn, the control is performed to supply a predetermined second amount, and the predetermined second amount is greater than the predetermined first amount. little. The predetermined amount may vary depending on the size of the room in which the bed is located and the ventilation conditions, and the ratio of the first amount to the second amount plays a major role. The second amount is preferably controlled to be less than the first amount, most preferably less than 1/2 of the first amount. Observation of objection to the stimulus, such as disgust or nausea, in the presence of visual and auditory stimuli, unless the stimulus is reduced to less than one half of the previous stimulus with the head mounted device In addition, the effects of visual stimulation and auditory stimulation by the head mounted device were also lowered. However, as described above, when the user adjusts the scent stimulus, and the user wears the head mounted device, the user feels the subconscious tension relaxation by the aroma and hopes to induce full sleep using the head mounted device. In this situation, the intensity of the aroma stimulus is gradually reduced.
