Sleep study on brain chemicals and fragmented sleep
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.

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 looks at how sleep “recovery” works in people with neurodegenerative diseases (conditions where abnormal proteins build up). It uses sleep recordings and sounds during sleep to see how sleep patterns relate to outcomes.
This study looks at how sleep affects mental tiredness and ability to focus in college students. Researchers want to understand whether improving sleep could help students think more clearly and perform better academically.
This trial tests whether a part of the brain called the locus coeruleus is involved in insomnia. It involves sleep questionnaires and possibly brain imaging to understand your sleep problems better.
