Comparison Across Multiple Types of Sleep Deprivation

Comparison Across Multiple Types of Sleep Deprivation

This study is designed to assess neurobehavioral performance, as well as genetic and other physiological changes associated with variations in timing and quantity of sleep.

During a 1.5 week inpatient laboratory protocol, subjects will undergo one of four parallel sleep conditions. Subjects will be randomly assigned to each condition group. During their time in the laboratory, biological samples (e.g., blood) will be collected for genetic and other analyses, and sleep quantity and quality will be monitored. Additionally responses on neurobehavioral tests and surveys will be monitored for differences among the groups.
