Abstract: The present invention generally relates to an apparatus and method for stimulating respiration during sleep. In one aspect, a respiration stimulation system is provided. The respiration stimulation system includes a detector configured to measure a respiratory cycle or a user and provide an electrical output signal indicative of the respiratory cycle. The respiration stimulation system further includes a control device configured to receive the electrical output signal from the detector and monitor the respiratory cycle of the user. Additionally, the respiration stimulation system includes a stimulator configured to apply stimuli to at least one point of stimulation upon receipt of a signal from the control device. In another aspect, a method of stimulating respiration in a user is provided. In a further aspect, a respiration stimulation system is provided.
