Cognitive Control During Sleep: Self-Awakening Study
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how our brains control waking up on purpose during sleep. It may help people who can train themselves to wake up at specific times.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 65 years old.
- You must be able to read, understand, and complete study tasks.
- You cannot have significant breathing problems during sleep, like obstructive sleep apnea.
- You cannot have epilepsy (seizures) or sleep disorders that cause unusual nighttime behaviors.
- You cannot have a neurological or psychiatric condition.
- You cannot have a major medical condition like diabetes or high blood pressure that might affect sleep.

This study looks at whether improving or tracking sleep changes how the brain “clears” waste. It may help researchers understand sleep’s role in brain health and how to support it.
This study follows people with frequent daytime sleepiness (sometimes from narcolepsy or hypersomnia) and compares them with matched healthy people, including some with sleep apnea. The goal is to better understand what causes sleepiness and to improve how these conditions are recognized and measured.
This study tests whether a common sleep apnea treatment (CPAP) affects how easily you wake up and the reasons behind it. It is for people who have just been diagnosed with sleep apnea and are not taking certain sleep medications or alcohol.
This study explores how your internal body clock and sense of time change during 36 hours of staying awake. You will stay in a lab and complete simple tasks to help researchers understand the link between circadian rhythms and time perception.
This study tests a non-painful brain stimulation during the first part of sleep to see how it affects slow, deep-sleep brain rhythms. It is mainly for healthy young adults who can follow a strict sleep schedule.
This research study tests a new method that uses magnetic pulses and brain-wave recordings to detect consciousness during sleep. Researchers want to validate this technology in healthy adults to see if it accurately measures brain activity.
