Audio Tone Programmed Hygienic And Therapeutic Sleep And Wake Eye Mask Having Remotely Controlled Sunrise And Sunset Multimodes
An eye mask for use to wake up and/or to go to sleep provides ease of cleaning or replacement without damaging electrical or optical components; different user selectable sunrise and sunset illumination modes respectively having blue-shifted and red-shifted spectra simulating natural sunrises and sunsets to assimilate the sleep/wake cycle to the natural rhythms of day and night; sunset and/or sunrise illumination modes that oscillate with fixed period or sequentially changing periods that correspond to brainwave frequencies that respectively facilitate going to sleep and/or waking and synergistically co-operate with corresponding sunset or sunrise light fields to help the user to fall into restful sleep or to awake refreshed and alert; and audio tone programming of illumination mode and treatment time and/or duration of therapy by a remote tone control generator.

- 1. A therapeutic sleep and wake eye mask that provides simulated sunrise and sunset multimodes to assimilate the sleep/wake cycle to the natural rhythm of the day/night cycle, comprising:
a member fashioned of any suitable flexible material comfortable enough to be worn about the head of a user and fashioned to comfortably seat against the face over the eyes of a wearer that includes walls defining light-tight left and right eye cavities; an electro-optical module carried by said member that includes an electronics module including a user input interface, a controller and a source of light cooperative to provide illumination of the left and right eye cavities in accord with user input sunrise and sunset mode selection and start time and sequence length selection; wherein said mode selected is a sunrise mode that fills said left and right cavities with sunrise illumination that fills said left and right cavities with increasing magnitude light having blue-shifted spectra of physiologically effective intensity to simulate a natural sunrise that signals the brain that the sun has risen and the body should prepare for daytime starting at a time and lasting for a duration that corresponds to a desired wake-up time sequence; and wherein said mode selected is a sunset mode that fills said left and right cavities with sunset illumination that fills said left and right cavities with decreasing magnitude light having red-shifted spectra of physiologically effective intensity to simulate a natural sunset that signals the brain that the sun is setting and the body should prepare for evening and sleep lasting for a duration that corresponds to a desired sleep sequence.
