Abstract: A sleep improvement device and a method for improving sleep, wherein the sleep improvement device is arranged for: initiating a sleep meditation mode when the user is awake, in the sleep meditation mode emitting relaxing stimuli, monitoring the brainwave signals during a plurality of epochs, determining when the user's brainwave frequencies for at least 20 percent of one or more of the epochs are within a training range of 10 to 17 Hz and then emitting training stimuli; and initiating a dream improvement mode when one or more of the epochs are scored as a REM sleep stage and in the dream improvement mode emitting lucid dream inducing stimuli corresponding to one or more of the training stimuli from the sleep meditation mode. Also provided is a data carrier including instructions for causing the sleep improvement device to execute the method for improving sleep.
