Patent Images
1. An automated method for collecting and organizing information associated with sleep of a patient, comprising:
- detecting sleep;
acquiring information associated with sleep, the information including a sleep-related event and one or more sensed physiological conditions of the patient associated with the sleep-related event; and
organizing the acquired information as an entry in a sleep logbook that maintains the association between the one or more sensed physiological conditions and the sleep-related event, the entry being one of a plurality of such entries in the sleep logbook for a corresponding plurality of sleep-related events;
wherein at least one of detecting, acquiring, and organizing is performed at least in part implantably.

Abstract
An approach to collecting and organizing information associated with events affecting sleep is presented. The sleep logbook system may acquire information associated with the sleep during periods of sleep and/or during periods of wakefulness. The information is organized as a sleep logbook entry. The user can access the sleep information by operating a user interface. The information may be presented in textual or graphical form.
