Popis: Sleep environment is important for sleepers. Many investigators have revealed the influence from the environment including lighting, noise and temperature. This chapter summarizes the scientific evidences from the related fields. It also reveals an innovative environmental control system, Sleep Coach to promote high-quality sleeping. A control system, Sleep Coach, was proposed. Sleep Coach is composed of three type of controllers: proactive controller, knowledge-enhanced controller, and sensor-enhanced controller. This control system not only ensures the optimal setup for the sleepers but also links the sleeping environment with the physician using the log in the control system. The smart control system can increase sleeping quality for the users and eventually can realize the goal of sleeper-centre bedroom.
