Knight Nite

Sleep is one of the most vital parts of the day for most people around the world. Over the years, we have seen the people close to us battling sleep disorders caused from stress, studying for final exams, and dealing with the reality of financial responsibility. Other people are diagnosed with sleep disorders like insomnia and sleep apnea. There are many products that have been manufactured to measure one or two of the user vitals or provide an alarm to wake the user up in the morning.

Knight Nite will prompt the user to answer questions about their typical sleeping patterns, and the information collected from the user will be used to get a baseline of their unique symptoms. Furthermore, Knight Nite will monitor the ambient light in their sleeping environment as well as the ambient noises. Observing the light and noise allow Knight Nite to paint a picture as to what was going on around the user during the night. Vitals such as heart rate, body temperature, and breathing will also be monitored to regulate the timing of the different treatments we plan to implement with our product. The objective of this project is to build a reliable sleep monitor system that can be used to help treat users with sleep disorders. Our goal is that the system will monitor and apply basic applications to help the user sleep. The system will monitor respiration, and body heat and compare the outputs against thresholds. If the thresholds are exceeded a treatment protocol will be enabled. The monitoring system will be placed on the user’s head, with shades covering their eyes. There will be a vital sensor to measure user’s temperature and pulse, an audio sensor monitoring the user’s respiration comparing the outputs against known parameters. The unit will be ready to implement a treatment protocol upon any abnormality. Furthermore, the objective build a reliable sleep monitor system that can be used to help treat users with sleep disorders.
