Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
       [0001]    1. Field of the Invention 
         [0002]    The present invention relates to a sleeping aid nasal band, and in particular to a sleeping aid nasal band formed by a carrier and a water absorption material. 
         [0003]    2. The Prior Arts 
         [0004]    Along with the rapid progress and development of business and industry in the modern age, most people keep a quick tempo life style and busy work schedule, so that the pressure of work and life is increasing. As such, even after work, people may still feel tension for the pressure of work, thus leading to the problem of sleeplessness. In this respect, in case adequate sleep is not obtained for a long period of time, that could cause people to become drowsy, dizzy, irritable, and getting slow in motion, as such even leading to various chronic diseases. 
         [0005]    To redress this problem, various researches have been conducted to develop medicine and device to relieve the problem of sleeplessness. Among the various approaches presently available, the essence fumigation is most acceptable. The principle of its approach is that, through applying massage using essence oil and through smelling scent of the essence oil, muscle and mental tension can be relieved, to reduce pressure of work. Also, in this approach, it can make people to have a feeling of soothing and tranquility, thus improving the mood and mentality of people, in achieving reducing tension, anxiety, and pressure. Therefore, essence fumigation is very effective in aiding people to fall into sleep. 
         [0006]    However, the equipment required for essence fumigation is quite numerous, such as fumigation table, heater, and essence oil. In addition, the space required for its application constitutes a restriction. The reason for this is that, in case it is applied in a large space, people may not be able to fall into sleep through smelling the scent of the essential oil, since the scent is dissipated to thin in a large space, and its effect is reduced. Besides, in performing essence fumigation, good air convection is essential. 
         [0007]    Therefore, presently, for a sleeping aid device, the problem of how to increase convenience in application, be suitable to use on various parts of the body, while achieving good sleeping aid effect, is an important task that has to be solved in this field. 
       SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
       [0008]    A major objective of the present invention is to provide a sleeping aid nasal band, formed by a carrier and a water absorption material, to aid people to fall into sleep easily, while realizing convenience in application and reduction of cost. 
         [0009]    In order to achieve the objective mentioned above, the present invention provides a sleeping aid nasal band, formed by a carrier and a water absorption material. On one side of the carrier is provided with an attachment area. The water absorption material is placed in the carrier, while a volatile material is disposed in the water absorption material. 
         [0010]    In an aspect of the present invention, the carrier is made of porous plastic material. 
         [0011]    In another aspect of the present invention, the carrier is provided with an adhesive layer, disposed in the attachment area. 
         [0012]    In a yet another aspect of the present invention, the carrier is made of biological fiber. 
         [0013]    In a further aspect of the present invention, the carrier is made of natural fiber. 
         [0014]    In a yet another aspect of the present invention, the carrier is provided with a plurality of through holes. 
         [0015]    In another aspect of the present invention, the water absorption material is formed by fabric or plastic complex. 
         [0016]    In a further aspect of the present invention, the water absorption material is formed by non-woven cloth. 
         [0017]    In another aspect of the present invention, the volatile material is essential oil. 
         [0018]    In a yet another aspect of the present invention, the volatile material is flavor essence.
