Abstract

A motion-sensitive vibrating sleep device is disclosed that includes a motion sensor and a controller operating a vibratory means. The motion sensor senses motion of a body. The controller causes a vibratory means to be activated when no body motion is detected in a predetermined period of time. Once motion is detected, the controller optionally causes the vibratory motion to cease.

Claims

1. A motion-sensitive vibrating sleep device comprising a motion sensor that provides a signal when motion is sensed coupled to a controller that receives the signal when motion is sensed, wherein said controller causes a vibratory means to be activated when no motion signal is received in a predetermined period of time.
