Power nap study for non-restorative sleep
This study tests whether a short daytime nap using a mild electric stimulation device can improve sleep quality in people who feel their sleep is not refreshing. If you are generally healthy, can nap, and want to try a non-drug approach, this might be a good fit.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.

- You are able to speak English and take daytime naps.
- You do not have any metal in your head, dental implants, or permanent retainers.
- You are not currently using certain medications that affect seizure risk, and you have no history of seizures or neurological disorders.

This study tests a gentle overnight brain stimulation technique to improve sleep spindles—brain waves that help with memory—in people with schizophrenia or related disorders. It may help understand how sleep affects thinking and symptoms.
This study tests whether combining brain stimulation with meditation helps people let go of their sense of self (ego-disengagement). You may be eligible if you are a healthy adult who meditates regularly.
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.
