Test-retest reliability of the wakefulness test in sleepy participants
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study is testing how reliable a test called the Maintenance of Wakefulness Test (MWT) is for measuring daytime sleepiness. It looks at different groups: people with sleep apnea, people with narcolepsy, and healthy volunteers. The goal is to see if the MWT gives consistent results when repeated.

This study is testing a new French questionnaire about sleep regularity. You will wear a small device (actimetry) for 14 days as part of your regular sleep check-up, and fill out the questionnaire to help doctors see if it's a good tool.
This study follows people newly diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (a condition where breathing stops during sleep) who are starting treatment. Researchers will measure how alert you stay during the day and whether treatment reduces accident risk, especially if your job involves driving or safety.
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 will collect information from people with suspected sleep apnea who feel very sleepy during the day. If you are 18 or older and about to have a sleep study, you may be able to help researchers learn more about this condition.
This study looks at sleep inertia (the grogginess you feel after waking up) in people with major depression. It uses a simple reaction-time test to understand how depression affects waking up.
This study looks for a biological marker of severe daytime sleepiness in people with severe obstructive sleep apnea who haven't started breathing machine treatment yet. It may help doctors better understand and treat sleepiness in the future.
