1. A system comprising:
a bedside device comprising a plurality of environmental sensors that are each capable of sensing at least one environmental phenomena of a sleep environment of a bed that is nearby, the bedside device further comprising a first network interface for communicating data with a computer system, the bedside device configured to:
sense a plurality of environmental phenomena of the sleep environment and;
send, to the computer system, at least one data message with a sensed parameter from the sensing of the environmental phenomena of the sleep environment while a user is present in the bed for a sleep session;
the computer system comprising at least one processor, memory, a housing, and a second network interface for communicating data with the bedside device, the computer system configured to:
receive the at least one data messages;
determine, from the sensed parameters, an indication that the sensed parameters indicate a low-quality sleep environment, comprising:
determine, for each sensed parameter, a target parameter;
determine, for each sensed parameter, a distance-from-target value; and
generate an environmental quality score based on the distance-from-target values; and
responsive to determining an indication that the sensed parameters indicate a low-quality sleep environment, send, to a controller system, an instruction to adjust the sleep environment; and
the controller system configured to:
receive the instruction to adjust the sleep environment; and
responsive to receiving the instruction to adjust the sleep environment, adjusting at least one environmental phenomena of the sleep environment while the user is sleeping in the sleep session and without particular input from the user at the time of the adjustment to the sleep environment.
