1. A method comprising:
- obtaining a compound biological signal associated with a user from a sensor;
extracting a heart rate signal from said compound biological signal;
extracting a breathing rate signal from said compound biological signal;
obtaining a wake-up time specified by said user;
obtaining exercise information associated with said user, the exercise information comprising a daily exercise information associated with said user and a current day, the exercise information also comprising an average daily exercise information of said user;
comparing said daily exercise information and said average daily exercise information to determine a difference between said daily exercise information and said average daily exercise information;
determining sleep phase associated with said user based on said heart rate signal, and said breathing rate signal; and
activating an alarm based on said sleep phase, said difference between said daily exercise information and said average daily exercise information, and said wake-up time specified by said user.

10. A method comprising:
-
obtaining a compound biological signal associated with a user; extracting a heart rate signal from said compound biological signal; extracting a breathing rate signal from said compound biological signal; obtaining an environment property; obtaining exercise information associated with said user, the exercise information comprising an average daily exercise information of said user and a daily exercise information of said user associated with a current day; comparing said daily exercise information and said average daily exercise information to determine a difference between said daily exercise information and said average daily exercise information; determining a sleep phase associated with said user based on said heart rate signal, said breathing rate signal, and said environment property; and determining a time to control an appliance based on said sleep phase, said difference between said daily exercise information and said average daily exercise information, and said environment property. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A method comprising:
-
obtaining a history of sleep phase information associated with a user from a database, the history of sleep phase information comprising an average bedtime associated with said user; obtaining exercise information associated with said user, the exercise information comprising an average daily exercise information of said user and a daily exercise information associated with the user and a current day; comparing said daily exercise information and said average daily exercise information to determine a difference between said daily exercise information and said average daily exercise information; and when the difference indicates that the daily exercise information associated with the current day is greater than the average daily exercise information, recommending to said user a bedtime earlier than the average bedtime associated with said user. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21)

22. A system comprising:
-
a non-transitory storage medium, communicatively coupled to a computer processor; and said computer processor configured to; obtain a history of sleep phase information associated with a user from a database, the history of sleep phase information comprising an average bedtime associated with said user; obtain exercise information associated with said user, the exercise information comprising an average daily exercise information of said user and a daily exercise information associated with said user and a current day; and when the daily exercise information associated with the current day is greater than the average daily exercise information, recommend to said user a bedtime earlier than the average bedtime associated with said user. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25)
