1. A system for determining optimum wake time, the system comprising:
- a receiver for receiving and storing electroencephalogram (EEG) data and a user-specified sleep period;
a processor configured to;
determine a dominant oscillation of power within a frequency band based on past EEG data received;
generate a power profile within the frequency band based on current EEG data received; and
determine the optimum wake time using the dominant oscillation of power to predict one of a relative low point and relative high point on the power profile proximate in time to and before the end of the user-specified sleep period; and
an alarm including an indicator configured to provide a stimulus to wake the user at the determined optimum wake time.

Abstract
A system for determining optimum wake time is disclosed whereby the system comprising includes a receiver for receiving electroencephalogram (EEG) data. The system further includes a processor configured to generate at least one frequency band based on the EEG data received, wherein the processor is further configured to determine an optimum wake time based on a relative low point on the at least one frequency band. The system also includes an indicator configured to provide notification of the optimum wake time.

7. A system for determining optimum wake time, the system comprising:
-
a receiver for receiving and storing electroencephalogram (EEG) data and a user-specified sleep period; a processor configured to; determine a dominant oscillation of power within a frequency band based on past EEG data received; generate a delta power rhythm associated with sleep depth based on current EEG data received; and determine the optimum wake time; wherein the optimum wake time is determined based on using the dominant oscillation of power to predict a relative low point on the curve of the delta power as plotted against sleep cycle time; wherein the relative low point occurs before the end of the user-specified sleep period; and wherein the relative low point corresponds to the optimum wake time resulting in minimal sleep inertia; and an alarm including an indicator configured to provide a stimulus to wake the user at the determined optimum wake time. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11)

12. A method for determining optimum wake time, the method comprising:
-
receiving and storing electroencephalogram (EEG) data via a receiver; determining, using a processor, a dominant oscillation of power within a frequency band based on past EEG data received; generating, using the processor, a power profile within the frequency band based on current EEG data received; determining, using the processor, the optimum wake time; wherein determining the optimum wake time is based on using the dominant oscillation of power to predict one of a relative low point and a relative high point on the power profile proximate in time to and before the end of a user-specified sleep period; and wherein one of the relative low point and the relative high point corresponds to the optimum wake time resulting in minimal sleep inertia; and providing, using an alarm, a stimulus to wake the user at the determined optimum wake time. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
