Abstract
A sleep variable calculation portion predicts a change in a sleep depth of a sleeping subject. When the sleep variable calculation portion predicts that the subject may be in a transition state in which the sleep depth of the subject further increases at a wake-up time of the subject, a stimulus presentation device provides a stimulus to the subject at a point in time preceding the wake-up time.
