1. A system for modifying a person's sleep environment comprising: (2) (2)

a wearable motion sensor that is configured to be wom by a sleeping person in order to measure the person's body motion or body configuration; and

a mattress on which the person sleeps, wherein the firmness of the mattress is automatically changed based on the person's body motion or body configuration.

2. The system in claim 1 wherein the firmness of the mattress is automatically increased when the person is restless based on data from the wearable motion sensor. (2) (0)

5. The system in claim 1 wherein the firmness of the mattress is automatically decreased when the person is restless based on data from the wearable motion sensor. (2) (0)

8. A system for modifying a person's sleep environment comprising: (2) (2)

a wearable motion sensor that is configured to be wom by a sleeping person in order to measure the person's body motion or body configuration; and

a mattress on which the person sleeps, wherein the shape, motion, slope, tilt, or configuration of the mattress is automatically changed based on the person's body motion or body configuration.

9. The system in claim 8 wherein the longitudinal slope or other longitudinal configuration of the mattress is automatically changed based on the person's body motion or body configuration. (0)

10. The system in claim 8 wherein the lateral slope or other lateral configuration of the mattress is automatically changed based on the person's body motion or body configuration. (0)

11. A system for modifying a person's sleep environment comprising: (5) (2)

a snoring sensor which is configured to be in proximity to a sleeping person; and

a mattress on which the person sleeps, wherein the configuration of the mattress is automatically changed when data from the snoring sensor indicates that the person is snoring.

12. The system in claim 11 wherein the firmness of the mattress is automatically increased when data from the snoring sensor indicates that the person is snoring. (2) (0)

15. The system in claim 11 wherein the firmness of the mattress is automatically decreased when data from the snoring sensor indicates that the person is snoring. (2) (0)

18. The system in claim 11 wherein the longitudinal slope or other longitudinal configuration of the mattress is automatically changed when data from the snoring sensor indicates that the person is snoring. (0)

19. The system in claim 11 wherein the lateral slope or other lateral configuration of the mattress is automatically changed when data from the snoring sensor indicates that the person is snoring. (0)

20. The system in claim 11 wherein the mattress is automatically vibrated or oscillated when data from the snoring sensor indicates that the person is snoring. (0)
