Methods, systems and devices for reducing anxiety, including increasing relaxation and/or calm. In some variations these methods may include reducing anxiety, increase relaxation and/or calm by non-invasive temperature regulation of the frontal cortex prior to and/or during sleep. The subject may have an anxiety disorder, or may not have a diagnosed anxiety disorder.

Noninvasive, regional brain thermal stimulation for inducing relaxation

Methods, devices and systems for improving sleep (including reducing sleep onset and maintenance of sleep duration), enhancing, or increasing sleep, including (but not limited to) treating sleeping disorders such as insomnia.

Systems for enhancing sleep

Fluid cartridge for sleep therapy device

Apparatuses and methods to enhance sleep, reduce sleep onset latency, extend sleep duration and/or increasing the duration of deeper sleep stages relative to stage 1 sleep. In general, these apparatuses and methods apply and maintain one or more target 'warm' temperatures to a subject's forehead for a time period. The target temperature may be between 25&#xb0; C. and 42&#xb0; C. The target temperature may be a fixed amount greater than ambient temperature. The time period may be a fixed time period or a variable time period. These methods and apparatuses may limit the application of thermal energy to the subject's forehead region.

Apparatus and method for modulating sleep

Passive heating may be provided to a flexible tube () configured to deliver respiratory gas to a patient. A flexible sheathing body () may be removably attached to the flexible tube so as to surround the flexible tube and extend along the flexible tube. A passive heating element () integrated with the flexible sheathing body may store non-electrical energy and release the stored non-electrical energy as thermal energy to heat the flexible tube.
