Description

Sleep depth monitoring method and sleep depth monitor

[Technical Field]

The present invention provides methods and apparatus for measuring sleep depth.

【Background technique】

There are a number of important uses for measuring sleep depth, including the doctor's examination of the patient's physical condition and the individual's perception of the quality of their sleep. At present, the EEG can detect the state of the brain in the state of dozing and the state of non-sleeping of the brain, but can not distinguish the pattern of the brain in wake-up and the mode of sleep; electroencephalograph (EEG) and electro-oculogram (EOG) Combined with electromyography (EMG), it can detect the state of sleep in the brain, but no method or instrument can directly measure the depth of sleep.

[Summary of the Invention]

The brain has multiple functional excitatory areas. Among them are the excitatory area, the sleep excitatory area, the thalamus and the blue spot nuclear excitatory area. The driving excitement zone of the brain sends a driving electric signal or an action standby electric signal to each muscle of the whole body at any time. The drive electrical signal or standby electrical signal first passes through the thalamus and is then driven through the excitation zone of the locus nucleus to the muscles of the body. When the brain enters the sleep mode from the awake mode, the excitement of the sleep excitement zone causes the sleep hormone to be released throughout the brain. The results of sleep hormone release lead to: 1. The communication/contact of the whole brain's excitatory areas is blocked; 2. The frequency of excitation of the blue nucleus excitatory area of the brain is reduced to zero, causing the brain to drive the excitatory area to the whole body muscles. The emitted drive electrical signal or standby electrical signal is blocked in the excitation zone of the blue spot nucleus, weakened or not emitted at all. When the excitation area of the locus nucleus is blocked, and the driving electrical signal or standby electrical signal of the brain cannot be emitted at all, the coordination of various brain neurotransmitters in the brain will cancel the obstruction of each excitatory area of the original brain. At this time, the brain is in a state of sleep. Therefore, when the brain is in a state of sleep, the excitement of the excitation zone of the blue-spotted nucleus is reduced to a minimum/zero point. At this time, the driving electrical signal or the standby electrical signal of the muscle-driven excitatory zone to the muscle cannot be emitted to the muscles of the body.

The present invention provides a method and apparatus for measuring the depth of sleep in a brain.

In the present invention, the measurement of the depth of sleep of the brain is achieved by detecting the degree to which the excitation region of the locus nucleus is suppressed.

In the present invention, a method for detecting the degree of inhibition of the excitation region of the locus nucleus to measure the depth of sleep of the brain is to detect the frequency or intensity of excitation of the excitation region of the locus coeruleus. The detection method includes any method capable of detecting the frequency or intensity of excitation of the excitation region of the locus coeruleus, such as: electroencephalography (EEG, implanted or non-implanted), electromagnetic fluoroscopy, magnetoencephalography (MEG), Functional nuclear magnetic resonance (fMRI), positron emission tomography (PET).

In the present invention, another method for detecting the degree of inhibition of the excitation region of the locus nucleus to measure the depth of sleep of the brain is to measure the degree of decrease in the intensity of the electrical signal or the standby electrical signal emitted by the brain-driven excitation region of the driving nerve. .

In the present invention, another method for detecting the degree of inhibition of the excitation region of the locus nucleus to measure the depth of sleep of the brain is to detect a driving electric signal or a standby electric signal emitted by the brain-driven excitatory region received by any muscle on the body. The intensity of the drop as the depth of sleep decreases.
