    Abstract: In some implementations, a computing device can remind a user to perform sleep ritual activities. The computing device can automatically determine the user's sleep ritual. The users sleep ritual can include various activities performed before going to sleep. The computing device can detect when the user performs the various sleep ritual activities. The computing device can remind the user about specific sleep ritual activities when the user forgets to perform the sleep ritual activities before going to sleep. In some implementation, the computing device can perform sleep ritual activities (e.g., turning off devices, locking doors, setting the air conditioning, etc.) on behalf of the user in response to user input. In some implementation, the computing device can perform sleep ritual activities on behalf of the user automatically and without user input.

    Abstract: In some implementations, a mobile device can adjust an alarm setting based on the sleep onset latency duration detected for a user of the mobile device. For example, sleep onset latency can be the amount of time it takes for the user to fall asleep after the user attempts to go to sleep (e.g., goes to bed). The mobile device can determine when the user intends or attempts to go to sleep based on detected sleep ritual activities. Sleep ritual activities can include those activities a user performs in preparation for sleep. The mobile device can determine when the user is asleep based on detected sleep signals (e.g., biometric data, sounds, etc.). In some implementations, the mobile device can determine recurring patterns of long or short sleep onset latency and present suggestions that might help the user sleep better or feel more rested.

    Abstract: In some implementations, a provisional determination that a user of a first device is awake may be based on data indicating that the first device is being used. Also, sleep sounds associated with a human sleeping may be detected, and sleep sound information corresponding to the user may be obtained. Next, the detected sleep sounds may be compared to the sleep sound information, and a determination may be made as to whether the detected sleep sounds are attributable to the user based on the comparison of the detected sleep sounds and the sleep sound information. In addition, the provisional determination that the user is awake may be revised to indicate that the user is sleeping in response to a determination that the detected sleep sounds are being performed by the user in order to provide a more accurate sleep determination for the user.
