Abstract: A device for controlling respiration during sleep based on the user physiological characteristic. The device includes an odor disperser for dispersing an odor; at least one detector for detecting a physiological characteristic of a user; and a controller for controlling respiration of the user by instructing the odor dispenser to disperse an odor responsive to detections by the at least one detector.

Abstract: A nasal cannula includes a prong formed from an inner cylindrical wall surrounded by an outer cylindrical wall, a base connecting the inner cylindrical wall to the outer cylindrical wall and an air channel formed between the inner and outer cylindrical wall. The inner cylindrical wall defines a bore through which air may freely flow. The nasal cannula additional includes a connector fluidly connected to the air channel and configured to provide flow communication between the air channel and an external device connected to the connector.
