Deep sleep and morning grogginess study
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how your brain's slow-wave activity (deep sleep brain waves) relates to sleep inertia—the grogginess you feel right after waking up. You'll be asked to sleep in a lab and do simple tasks after waking.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 60 years old.
- For at least 2 weeks before the study, you need to sleep at least 6 hours a night (you'll track this in a sleep diary).
- You cannot have sleep apnea or be at high risk for it.
- You cannot have restless legs syndrome.
- You cannot have depression or be taking medication for it.
- You cannot have worked night shifts or irregular hours in the past 2 weeks.

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 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 tests a treatment that helps improve sleep and daily rhythms, which may also help with memory and moving around. It's for people aged 50+, with low income, who have trouble with mobility and 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 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 study tests if a light therapy device can help reduce daytime sleepiness in people who are already using a CPAP machine for sleep apnea but still feel tired. It involves MRI scans and regular check-ins over two years.
