Our idea is a smart bedroom that helps you wake up fall asleep. This is done by simulating sunrise and sunset respectively.
To simulate the sunrise and sunset as best as possible, a software has control of the light intensity, temperature and sound level in the room. This "robot" also keeps track of how deep the person is sleeping: this is done because waking up while in a REM sleep is much more comfortable than waking up while in a deep sleep.

Smart Bedroom
Our idea is the smart bedroom. This is a bedroom which will be controlled by a so-called smart alarm. The smart alarm will analyze the person in the room when he is awake and when he sleeps. The smart alarm can also control the lights and blinds in the bedroom. The purpose of a smart alarm is to let the person sleep as well as possible. This alarm can be very useful for people with insomnia.
A few ways to let the person sleep as well as possible are helping the person to get asleep, waking the person after a full sleep cycle and waking the person with special light which will be experienced as a sunrise. The smart alarm has an integrated tool which can measure the heartbeat, what gives information about the sleeping process. The person could also give feedback. For example, he can rate his experience after every night, or he can only report the alarm if he experienced something unpleasantly. The smart alarm will use this feedback the next nights to improve the sleep experience of the person.
The smart bedroom will be integrated on your smartphone. You can set the wake up time, or wake up interval, easily on your smartphone. It communicates with the server of the smart bedroom. This server controls the blinds, lights, sound and temperature in your room. When the person is waking up, he can give his rating at his smartphone. But he can also see his sleep pattern on his smartphone of all nights.
A method which is very precise is measuring the heartbeat with the aid of infrared radiation. But this method is still in his development and will be very expensive. So we'll use an other method, namely sound recognition. This method measures the breath and translate this to a heartbeat. But a footnote is, that this method has to be calibrated over some nights to get a good estimate. And sleeping together can also be a problem with this method. But this method is much cheaper and can be used nowadays. Maybe in the future we could use infrared.
