Claim 11:
12. A method of controlling a controlled sleeping surface, the method comprising:
storing a precalculated user-specific optimal sleep rhythm that specifies an optimal sequence of sleep states that are optimal for a specific user based on one or more user characteristics of the user, the user characteristics comprising the user's age, gender, weight, and height, wherein the optimal sequence of sleep states further includes a time period that the specific user should be in each sleep state of the sequence of sleep states to yield optimal sleep for the specific user;
determining an identity of a user on the controlled sleeping surface based on sensors of the controlled sleeping surface and to obtain the precalculated user-specific optimal sleep rhythm of the user from the stored precalculated sleep rhythm for the identified user;
calculating an actual sleep state of the user on the controlled sleeping surface based on data from the sensors;
determining a current optimal sleep state of the user on the controlled sleeping surface based on the actual sleep state of the user, the precalculated user-specific optimal sleep rhythm of the user, and a period of time that the user has been in the actual sleep state;
adjusting a firmness of the controlled sleeping surface based on the determined current optimal sleep state of the user; and
adjusting a temperature of the controlled sleeping surface based on the current optimal sleep state of the user.
