An electronic system for silently awakening a sleeping person without disturbing others sleeping in the same room and, when desired, for inducing sleep in a person unable to fall asleep naturally is disclosed. The system consists of a signal triggering means comprising either an electric clock or a fire-smoke detection device provided therein with an electronic circuitry having two channels, one channel for developing awakening signals and the other for producing sleep-inducing signals. Said system is further provided with a stimulus-directing means, to be positioned under a sleeping person's pillow for receiving stimuli from said electronic circuitry into said stimulus-directing means and transmitting therefrom continuous as well as recurrent, pulsative motion through said pillow to a person lying thereon, as in sleeping or resting.
