The investigators were unable to implement a MRI compatible EEG for use in human subjects (equipment and technical issues).

The primary goal is to quantify cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) volume, diffusion characteristics and mechanical properties of brain tissue at two states of arousal.

The primary goal is to quantify cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) volume, diffusion characteristics and mechanical properties of brain tissue at two states of arousal:

1. Resting, awake state
2. During sleep with low-dose intravenous infusion of dexmedetomidine (titrated to a Bispectral index (BIS) of 60-70)

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Healthy Males or females between 18 and 40 years of age. Determined to be American Society of Anesthesiologist (ASA) 1 subjects.
2. Ability to provide written informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Subjects with potential difficult airway as determined by the anesthesiologist
2. History of or family history of difficulty with anesthesia or sedation procedures
3. Known intolerance to dexmedetomidine
4. Body mass index >30
5. Subjects with any of the following: narcolepsy, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and/or abnormal sleeping patterns (including but not limited to those who use a Continuous positive Airway Pressure (C-PAP) machine, sleeping during the day, using medication to fall asleep, subjects reporting snoring as determined by self- report using Snoring, Tiredness, Observed apnea, Blood pressure, Body mass index, Age, Neck circumference and Gender (STOP-BANG) questionnaire (i) for undiagnosed OSA (3 or more 'yes' answers will exclude) and/or medical history;
6. Subjects with a history of restless leg syndrome as determined by self-report and/or medical history;
7. Use, in the past two weeks, of psychoactive medications (four weeks for fluoxetine) or medications that may affect brain function (including but not limited to opioid analgesics, antidepressants, antipsychotics, benzodiazepines and barbiturates) as determined by self-report and/or medical history;
8. Current or past Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-V) diagnosis of a psychiatric disorder if it was severe enough to require the use of medications and or hospitalization to treat the condition.
9. Major medical problems that can impact brain function (e.g., problems of the Central Nervous System including seizures and psychosis; cardiovascular disease including hypertension and arrhythmias; metabolic, autoimmune, endocrine disorders) as determined by self-report, medical history and/or clinical exam;
10. Hepatic dysfunction or impairment as determined by subjects' self-reported history
11. Head trauma with loss of consciousness for more than 60 minutes as determined by self-report and/or medical history;
12. Positive urine test for controlled substances (cocaine, methamphetamine, amphetamines, opioids, cannabinoids, benzodiazepines and barbiturates) at the screening visit and at each visit of imaging study and neuropsychological assessment;
13. Positive urine pregnancy test;
14. Nursing mothers will be excluded
15. Presence of ferromagnetic objects in the body that are contraindicated for MRI of the head (including but not limited to pacemakers or other implanted electrical devices, brain stimulators, some types of dental implants, aneurysm clips, metallic prostheses, permanent eyeliner, large tattoos, implanted delivery pump, or shrapnel fragments) or fear of enclosed spaces as determined by the self-report checklist.
16. Fear of enclosed spaces (claustrophobia) as determined by self-report and medical history.
17. Cannot lie comfortably flat on the back for up to 3 hours in the MRI scanner as determined by self- report.
