How deep sleep affects morning grogginess
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how a specific type of brain activity during sleep, called slow wave activity, affects how groggy you feel when you wake up. Researchers want to understand why some people feel more refreshed than others.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 tests if a dietary supplement can help people with mild sleep issues sleep better and feel more refreshed in the morning. It's for generally healthy adults who are not taking sleep medications or other supplements.
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.
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 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 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.
