a determination section configured to determine an awakening point based on target data which is time-series data of the biological information of the target person acquired by the biological information acquisition section in a predetermined target period, the awakening point being a time point after the target period has passed and at which the target person is awakened; and
a controller configured to control a predetermined target device so that the target device stimulates the target person to wake up at the awakening point determined by the determination section, wherein
the target period is a period between wakefulness to falling asleep of the target person, or a period from the wakefulness of the target person to a time point at which a predetermined time has passed since the target person fell asleep,
the determination section determines the awakening point based on reference data which is time-series data of the biological information acquired in advance from a plurality of subjects in a period before and after the falling sleep of each subject and the target data, and
