Abstract
A sleep induction device includes at least one sensor for detecting a physiological characteristic of the user, a stimulator configured to provide successive stimuli to the user to anticipate on the detected physiological characteristic, which successive stimuli define a guidance path, and which guidance path is to be followed by the user to induce a change during the sleep session of the user, a memory which is arranged to store values of detected physiological characteristics, and provided stimuli during the sleep session, and a processing unit including a control programme which is programmed to determine a current sleep state of the user, which current sleep state is based on at least one detected physiological characteristic measured by the at least one sensor and which control programme is programmed to generate an initial guidance path to induce a change from the determined current sleep state to another sleep state.
