Sleep Management Device And Methods For Operation

Various examples are directed to sleep management devices and methods of operating the same. A sleep management device may comprise a display. The sleep management device may be programmed to detect a first wake event and select a first wake routine associated with the first wake event. The sleep management device may execute the first wake routine at least in part by modulating an output of the display for a first duration. The sleep management device may also detect a second wake event different than the first wake event and second wake routine associated with the second wake event. The sleep management device may execute the second wake routine at least in part by modulating the output of the display for a second duration longer than the first duration.

4 Independent Claims

  • 1. (canceled)

  • 2. A sleep management device comprising: an event circuit to determine a sleep time for a user of the sleep management device based on future time zone data describing a time zone that the user is to be in at a future time, wherein the event circuit is to generate a sleep instruction based on the sleep time; a sleep routine execution circuit communicatively coupled to the event circuit and to receive the sleep instruction, wherein the sleep routine execution circuit is to execute a sleep inducement routine responsive to the sleep instruction; and a wake execution circuit communicatively coupled to the event circuit, and to execute a first wake routine by modulating an output of a display.

  • 16. A method for operating a sleep management device, the method comprising: determining, by the sleep management device, a sleep time for a user of the sleep management device, the determining based on future time zone data describing a time zone that the user is to be in at a future time, wherein the sleep management device comprises at least one processor; based on the sleep time, determining, by the sleep management device, to execute a sleep inducement routine; executing, by the sleep management device, the sleep inducement routine by modulating an output of a display of the sleep management device; and executing, by the sleep management device, a first wake routine by modulating the output of the display of the sleep management device.

  • 20. At least one non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions thereon that, when executed by at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to perform operations comprising: determining a sleep time for a user of a sleep management device, the determining based on future time zone data describing a time zone that the user is to be in at a future time, wherein the sleep management device comprises at least one processor; based on the sleep time, determining to execute a sleep inducement routine; executing the sleep inducement routine by modulating an output of a display of the sleep management device; and executing a first wake routine by modulating the output of the display of the sleep management device.
