Sleep Phase Dependent Temperature Control And Learning Methods To Optimize Sleep Quality
A bed includes components to control temperature of a sleep surface, for example based on time and historical usage patterns by a user. In some embodiments the temperature of the sleep surface is controlled based on information indicating a sleep state of the user. In some embodiments the temperature is dynamically adjusted so to achieve particular sleep states and/or sleep patterns for the user. In some embodiments the temperature and timing of temperature adjustments is iteratively adjusted over multiple sleep sessions so to achieve improvements in sleep states and/or sleep quality for the user.

- 1. A method for conditioning a sleep environment, comprising:
receiving an indication that a user is on a sleep surface; and after receiving the indication that the user is on the sleep surface, setting at least a portion of the sleep surface to a first temperature for a first period of time, the first period of time being less than a total period of time the user is expected to be asleep on the sleep surface during a sleep session; wherein the setting of the at least the portion of the sleep surface to the first temperature occurs after receiving an indication that the user is asleep on the sleep surface.
- 21. A bed, comprising:
an adjustable temperature sleep surface; a controller configured to command adjustment of temperature of the sleep surface based on information regarding a user of the sleep surface; and biometric sensors coupled to the controller, wherein the controller is further configured to determine sleep stages of the user; wherein the controller is configured to command adjustment of temperature of the sleep surface to a first temperature based on a sleep stage of the user indicating that the user is asleep.
