A system in which a clothing device detects an electroencephalographic (EEG) response from a user during sleep-related activity, such as trying to fall asleep, sleeping, or waking, and delivering an audio signal that is adapted, based on the EEG response, to improve the user's sleep experience. In particular, an audio, thermal and / or olfactory signal can be used to facilitate any one or more of the group consisting of (i) a smooth path to REM sleep, (ii) a reduced potential for disturbance of sleep, and (iii) getting out of sleep at an optimal time. In one example, the system synchronizes the properties of an audio signal comprising a dominant white and / or pink noise component with the identified sleep related parameters. Synchronized properties can include any of the elements of the group consisting of intensity, frequency, tone, volume, and rhythm. |
