Insomnia assessment and treatment device and method
First Claim
1. A method for automated sleep behavior modification using a computerized treatment system comprising:
- a. determining a baseline sleep pattern of a user and storing in the system data indicative of the baseline sleep pattern;
b. generating a sleep behavior regimen based on the stored sleep pattern data and a behavior modification algorithm, wherein the algorithm generates behavior prompts;
c. prompting the user to perform a predetermined sleep inducement behavior at a time determined by the regimen;
d. tracking a sleep behavior of the user and storing data indicative of the tracked sleep behavior;
e. modifying the regimen based on the tracked sleep behavior, and f. prompting the user to perform the predetermined sleep inducement behavior at a time determined by the modified regimen.

Abstract
A method of automated sleep behavior modification for insomnia and other sleep problems using a computerized treatment system including: determining a baseline sleep pattern of a user and storing in the system data indicative of the baseline sleep pattern; generating a sleep behavior regimen based on the stored sleep pattern data and a behavior modification algorithm, wherein the algorithm generates sleep inducement behavior prompts; prompting the user to perform a predetermined sleep inducement behavior at a time determined by the regimen; tracking the sleep behavior of the user and storing data indicative of the tracked sleep behavior; modifying the regimen based on the tracked sleep behavior, and prompting the user to perform the predetermined sleep inducement behavior at a time determined by the modified regimen.

20. A method for sleep behavior modification using a computerized treatment system comprising:
-
a. storing sleep pattern data in the memory of the treatment system;
b. generating a sleep behavior regimen based on the stored sleep behavior data and a behavior modification algorithm, wherein the algorithm generates sleep behavior prompts;
said sleep behavior prompts for getting in or out of bed based on prior sleep time, awake time, and sleep efficiency;
c. prompting the patient to perform a predetermined sleep inducement behavior at a time determined by the treatment system;
d. after step c, tracking sleep behavior of the user and storing data indicative of the tracked sleep behavior;
e. modifying the regimen based on the tracked sleep behavior, and f. prompting the user to perform the predetermined sleep behavior at a time determined by the modified regimen. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)

27. A method of assessing a sleep behavior pattern of a user operating a computer controlled treatment device, said method comprising:
-
a. the device active sampling the user to periodically determine whether the user is awake or asleep;
b. the device automatically collecting data indicative of whether the user is awake or asleep during the active sampling, and c. determining a sleep behavior pattern of the user based on the collected data. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33)

34. A device for assisting a user to adjust a sleep behavior, said device comprising:
-
a processor and a storage device, wherein an executable program and sleep pattern data are stored in the storage device, and the processor executes said executable program to generate a sleep regimen based on the sleep pattern data;
a user prompt activated by the processor, wherein the processor activates the prompt in accordance with the sleep regimen to prompt the user to perform the sleep behavior, and an input activated by the user to indicate when the prompted sleep behavior is performed. - View Dependent Claims (35, 36, 37, 38)
