Methods, systems and apparatus for paced breathing
Systems slow breathing with positive pressure therapy. In embodiments, a current interim breathing rate target is set, and periodically magnitude of a variable pressure waveform scaled to the current interim breathing rate target is increased if breathing rate is greater than the interim rate target to lengthen breath duration. The magnitude of the pressure increase may be a function of the difference between the interim rate target and the breathing rate. The interim rate target may be reduced in response to slowing breathing rate. The waveform cycles, inhalation to exhalation, when airflow decreases to a cycle threshold. Different interim rate targets have different cycle threshold functions that allow easier cycling as the interim rate targets decrease. Similarly, the waveform triggers, exhalation to inhalation, when airflow increases to a trigger threshold. Different interim rate targets have different trigger threshold functions that allow easier triggering as the interim rate targets decrease.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ENHANCING SLEEP PATTERNS
Systems and methods for enhancing wellness in a habitable space are provided. In some forms, an example system for enhancing wellness in a habitable space includes a control system having a processor, communication circuitry, and a memory. The communication circuitry of the control system is configured to communicate with one or more devices positioned within the habitable space. One or more sensors may also be positioned proximate the habitable space to detect indicia (e.g., biometric characteristics of a user, behavioral characteristics of a user, and environmental characteristics) and communicate the detected indicia to the control system. Based at least in part on the detected indicia, the control system is configured to trigger initiation of a scene in the habitable space by communicating a signal to at least one of the devices in the habitable space to adjust operation thereof.
