Abstract: System and method for a user to monitor and/or modify his or her sleep. In one embodiment, the sleep coaching system comprises a sensor for sensing a physiological signal of a sleeping user such as an EEG, computer memory databases for storing user and sleep-related data and advice, and a processor that generates a set of advice to improve user sleep satisfaction based on the user and sleep-related data. The advice to improve user sleep satisfaction, which may be communicated to the user, may comprise a sleep coaching plan, which may include one or more sleep coaching workshops that the user may undertake.

Abstract: Techniques for managing sleep states by selecting and presenting audio content are described. Disclosed are techniques for receiving data representing a sleep state, selecting a portion of audio content from a plurality of portions of audio content as a function of the sleep state, and causing presentation of an audio signal comprising the portion of audio content at a speaker. Audio content may be selected based on sleep states, such as sleep preparation, being asleep or sleeping, wakefulness, and the like. Audio content may be selected to facilitate sleep onset, sleep continuity, sleep awakening, and the like. Audio content may include white noise, noise cancellation, stating a user's name, presenting another message such as a recommendation, the news, or a user's schedule, a song or piece of music, and the like, and may be stored as a file, generated dynamically, and the like.

Abstract: Systems and methods for monitoring EEG signals include dry electrodes that can be used in sleep monitoring systems. In one aspect, a system for sleep stage monitoring and measurement includes a first dry electrode for detecting EEG signals of a user, a housing, and a sleep stage processor disposed within the housing. The first dry electrode is positioned at or near a head of the user. The sleep stage processor processes the EEG signals to determine a sleep stage of the user.
