Mind-wandering and daydreaming in narcolepsy and hypersomnia
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at whether people with narcolepsy or idiopathic hypersomnia have different patterns of daydreaming and mind-wandering compared to others with sleepiness but no clear diagnosis. It helps understand how certain brain states during sleep might affect waking thoughts.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study explores how what you eat affects your sleepiness and nighttime sleep quality. Researchers want to learn more about these links in people with narcolepsy type 1 or idiopathic hypersomnia.
This study looks at how narcolepsy or idiopathic hypersomnia affects thinking and cardiovascular health, and how usual treatment medications may change those outcomes. It may help researchers understand risks and benefits of common hypersomnia therapies.
This study is looking at how common and how severe excessive daytime sleepiness (hypersomnia) is in children and teenagers with various sleep and developmental conditions. If your child has one of these conditions and struggles with sleepiness, they may be able to join to help doctors better understand and treat it.
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation method called temporal interference to target the hypothalamus. It aims to help reduce excessive daytime sleepiness in people with narcolepsy type 1.
This trial tests whether low-dose sodium oxybate can improve symptoms in adults with idiopathic hypersomnia, a condition that causes excessive sleepiness. You’d likely be asked to pause this standard treatment briefly while baseline testing is completed, and you’d use reliable contraception during and after the study drug.
This trial tests whether taking melatonin at night and using a bright light therapy device in the morning can improve excessive daytime sleepiness in people with idiopathic hypersomnia. It is a double-blind study, meaning neither you nor the doctors will know if you are getting the real treatment or a placebo.
