Abstract

A system and method for facilitating the elimination of bedwetting behavior utilizing a number of RF transceivers which include a base unit, an alarm unit, and a remote keypad unit. The method works through programmed sleep interruption based upon a user'"'"'s previously established sleep and bedwetting pattern.

Claims

1. A system for use in facilitating the elimination of bedwetting behavior, said system comprising:

a base unit having a clock/timer and means for programming scheduled arousal times based upon an established user'"'"'s bedwetting pattern, said base unit further comprising means for transmitting a radio signal at said arousal times,

a remote alarm unit for receiving said radio signal and activating an alarm for arousal of the user, and

a remote keypad unit positioned in a location remote from the user for deactivation of said alarm, wherein said user must enter a specified sequence of characters in order to deactivate said alarm.

2. A method for facilitating the elimination of bedwetting behavior of a user, said method comprising the steps of:

establishing arousal times coinciding with the bedwetting pattern of the user;

awaking said user by an alarm at said arousal times;

requiring said user to go to a remote location in order to deactivate said alarm, said user being required to enter a specified sequence of characters on a remote keypad in order to deactivate said alarm.
