Quiet sounds during deep sleep for memory in older adults
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether playing a soft, silent sound (or no sound) during deep sleep can improve memory, brain activity, and blood markers. It is for older adults (60-85) who have mild memory issues but are otherwise healthy.
