KR-20260062467-A - A sleep-inducing device that induces brainwave synchronization using pulsed electromagnetic fields

Abstract

The present invention relates to a sleep induction device that induces brainwave synchronization using a pulsed electromagnetic field. More specifically, the invention relates to a sleep induction device that induces brainwave synchronization using a pulsed electromagnetic field, wherein the frequency and duration of the pulsed electromagnetic field are controlled by a control unit according to an operation mode commanded by an input unit, and the pulsed electromagnetic field is generated in an eye mask body containing a coil and transmitted to the brain through the optic nerve of the retina to induce sleep.

Description

A sleep-inducing device that induces brainwave synchronization using pulsed electromagnetic fields The present invention relates to a sleep induction device that induces brainwave synchronization using a pulsed electromagnetic field. More specifically, the invention relates to a sleep induction device that induces brainwave synchronization using a pulsed electromagnetic field, wherein the frequency and duration of the pulsed electromagnetic field are controlled by a control unit according to an operation mode commanded by an input unit, and the pulsed electromagnetic field is generated in an eye mask body containing a coil and transmitted to the brain through the optic nerve of the retina to induce sleep. The number of insomnia patients is on the rise every year due to various causes, including not only psychological factors such as stress and depression but also environmental and physical factors. Sleep onset insomnia, characterized by difficulty falling asleep even when tired; sleep maintenance insomnia, involving repeated awakenings; and early-onset hearing disorder, where one wakes up during the night and cannot fall back asleep, all fall under the category of insomnia. Sleep deprivation caused by insomnia has a significant impact not only on mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety disorders, and cognitive impairment, but also on the body's immune function and autonomic nervous system. In particular, if sleep disorders persist, the brain shrinks year by year, increasing the risk of senile dementia and leading to physical ailments such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and obesity. If sleeping pills are taken to treat such insomnia, tolerance may develop, leading to problems such as the need to continuously increase the dosage or dependence that prevents one from falling asleep without the pills; taking such sleeping pills can actually worsen the insomnia. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop sleep-inducing devices that can help prevent various diseases caused by sleep deprivation by inducing sleep through methods other than taking medication.
