Abstract

Systems and methods for detection and/or intervention of stress episodes such as nightmares during sleep activity or flashbacks or anxiety attacks during waking or sleep activity. In some embodiments, sensors, such as gyroscopes, accelerometers, heart rate sensors, and/or other sensors, may be used for monitoring stress indicators indicative of a user's stress level. The sensed stress indicators may be used to calculate a stress level. If the stress level meets or exceeds a stress level threshold, haptic, audio, visual, and/or other feedback or alerts may be used to draw a user's attention and thus interrupt the stress episode.
