  • Publication number: 20170003666
    Abstract: Historical sleep metrics are accessed. Historical sensor data is accessed. Incidences of low quality sleep experienced by the user are identified. Particular environmental conditions that affected the user during the incidences of low quality sleep are identified. A corrective plan that specifies a change to an environmental control system to reduce the particular environmental conditions is created. The behavior of the environmental control system is modified such that the environmental control system reduces the particular environmental conditions when the user sleeps in the bed.
