1. A system comprising: (8) (1)

a mattress; a sensor configured to: sense a feature of the mattress; and

transmit readings to a data processing device; and

the data processing device comprising a processor and configured to: receive the readings from the sensor;

determine if the readings i) indicate a user presence on the mattress and ii) indicate the user intends to sleep by comparing the user presence on the mattress with time windows of expected user going to bed events in a model of the user's sleep; and

responsive to determining that the readings i) indicate user presence on the mattress and ii) indicate the user intends to sleep, transmit a command to a peripheral controller to modify the state of a peripheral device.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the data processing device is further configured to: (0) (1)

3. The system of claim 1, wherein: (0) (3)

4. The system of claim 1, the system further comprising: (1) (1)

6. The system of claim 1, wherein: (2) (1)

the data processing device is further configured to: store the reading from the sensor; and generate, based on the stored readings from the sensor, a model of the user's sleep behavior; and

to determine if the readings ii) indicate the user intends to sleep, the data processing device is further configured to compare some of the readings from the sensor with the model of the user's sleep behavior.

7. The system of claim 6, wherein: (0) (2)

8. The system of claim 6, wherein: (1) (2)

10. The system of claim 1, wherein the data processing device is further configured to: (0) (1)

11. The system of claim 1, wherein the data processing device is further configured to: (0) (1)

12. The system of claim 1, wherein: (0) (1)

22. The system of claim 1, (0) (3)

13. A method performed by data processing apparatus, the method comprising: (4) (3)

receiving, from a sensor configured to sense a feature of a mattress, readings;

determining if the readings i) indicate a user presence on the mattress and ii) indicate the user intends to sleep by comparing the user presence on the mattress with time windows of expected user going to bed events in a model of the user's sleep; and

responsive to determining that the readings i) indicate user presence on the mattress and ii) indicate the user intends to sleep, transmitting a command to a peripheral controller to modify the state of a peripheral device.

14. The method of claim 13, the method further comprising: (0) (2)

15. The method of claim 13, the method further comprising: (3) (3)

storing the readings from the sensor; and

generating, based on the stored readings from the sensor, a model of the user's sleep behavior;

wherein determining if the readings i) indicate a user presence on the mattress and ii) indicate the user intends to sleep comprises comparing some of the readings from the sensor with the model of the user's sleep behavior.

16. The method of claim 15, the method further comprising: (0) (2)

17. The method of claim 15, the method further comprising: (0) (2)

18. The method of claim 15, the method further comprising: (0) (2)

23. The method of claim 13, wherein (0) (1)

25. The method of claim 13, the method further comprising: (0) (1)

19. A system comprising: (3) (1)

means for supporting a user on a mattress; a sensor configured to: sense a feature of the mattress; and

transmit readings to a data processing device; and

the data processing device comprising a processor and configured to: receive the readings from the sensor;

determine if the readings i) indicate user presence on the mattress and ii) indicate the user intends to sleep by comparing the user presence on the mattress with a model of the user's sleep, wherein the model of the user's sleep comprises data indicative of a sleep schedule that identifies time-windows; and

20. The system of claim 19, the system further comprising: (0) (1)

21. The system of claim 19, wherein the data processing device is further configured to: (0) (1)

24. The system of claim 19, (0) (4)

wherein, comparing the user presence on the mattress with a model of the user's sleep, the data processing device is further configured to:

determine a time that the readings indicate a user presence in on the mattress;

compare the time with the data indicative of a sleep schedule; and

determine if the time matches one of the time-windows of likely sleep of the sleep schedule.
