The body movement detecting element 3 is electrically connected to the control unit 4 and controls the air conditioner 5, lighting equipment (not shown), acoustic equipment (not shown), and the like. The control unit 4 includes a signal processing unit 6 including a filter, a rectifying unit, an amplifying unit (none of which are shown), and a first storage unit 7 in which a standard bed movement pattern of a sleeping person is stored in advance. And a storage device 9 including a second storage unit 8 in which the standard sleep body movement pattern is stored, a comparator 10, and a control device 11 for controlling the air conditioner 5 and the like.

って設定された空調機５の設定温度を保つ。In the above structure, a case where a sleeping person is present on the mattress 2 and the room is in an air conditioning operation will be described. In FIG. 3, when a sleeping person enters the bed 1, a large body movement signal output A is obtained from the body movement detecting element 3 due to vibrations and the like at the time of entering the bed. Normally, until the sleeping person falls asleep, a signal similar to A frequently occurs due to subsequent body movements such as limb movements and turning over. Therefore, a pattern in which A frequently occurs is stored in advance in the first storage unit 7 of the storage device 9 as a standard in-bed body movement pattern, and this pattern and the obtained body movement signal are compared by the comparator 10. If they match each other to some extent, it is determined that the sleeping person is not falling asleep, and the preset temperature of the air conditioner 5 preset by the sleeping person according to preference is maintained via the control device 11.

（冷房の場合）などの睡眠中の制御を行う。After that, when the sleeping person falls asleep, large body movements such as limb movements and turning over stop for a certain period of time like T1, and only the body movement signal output in the range of Va and Vb based on the sleeping person's heartbeat and respiration. Then, a large body movement signal such as turning over again is obtained as shown by B, and T2 is further obtained.
Generally, a similar signal C is obtained over time. Therefore, if such a pattern is stored in the second storage unit 8 of the storage device 9 as a standard sleep body movement pattern and the obtained body movement signal matches the comparator 10 to some extent, the sleeping person Is determined to be sleeping, and control during sleep such as slightly raising the set temperature of the air conditioner 5 (in the case of cooling) is performed via the control device 11.

れる。However, even if control is performed during sleep,
When the environment changes, for example, when the outside air temperature rises, or when the person sleeps in heavy clothing, sleepiness due to the heat occurs, which causes a difference from the standard sleep body movement pattern stored in the second storage unit 8. A body motion signal will be obtained. That is, the time T2 is shortened, and a large body motion signal such as C is frequently generated. In such a case, control is performed to lower the set temperature of the air conditioner 5 from the comparator 10 via the control device 11. After that, if it matches the standard sleep pattern, the control of the air conditioner 5 is maintained in that state. As a result, the sleeping person can obtain comfortable device control even if he / she sleeps during sleep.
