- 1. An apparatus for applying thermal energy to a subject's forehead to enhance sleep, the apparatus comprising:
a conformable body configured to be worn on the subject's forehead having a skin-facing surface; a plurality of thermoelectric temperature regulators arranged across the skin-facing surface; a controller configured to apply power to cool the thermoelectric temperature regulators to between 1° C.-30° C.; and a holdfast configured to secure the apparatus to the subject's forehead.
- 15. An apparatus for applying thermal energy to a subject's forehead to enhance sleep, the apparatus comprising:
a conformable body configured to be worn on the subject's forehead having a skin-facing surface; a plurality of thermoelectric temperature regulators arranged across the skin-facing surface; a sensor; a controller configured to receive sensor data from the sensor and to determine when the subject is sleeping or awake; further wherein the controller is configured to apply power to cool the thermoelectric temperature regulators to a first temperature of between 1° C.-30° C. when the patient is awake and to apply power to cool the thermoelectric temperature regulators to a standby temperature of between 26-38° C. when the patient is asleep; and a holdfast configured to secure the apparatus to the subject's forehead.
