Understanding Sleep Patterns in Short Sleepers
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study examines how the body naturally regulates sleep in people who sleep less than 6 hours on weekdays without feeling tired during the day. Researchers want to understand why some people need less sleep and how their bodies adapt.

This study tests how a daily product affects sleep, digestion, and overall health in people who naturally sleep only 4 to 5.5 hours a night but feel fine. Participation involves tracking your sleep and habits for a few weeks, with two in-person visits.
This study looks at how common sleep disorders affect children and teens. It may help us understand and treat conditions like poor sleep, tiredness during the day, and other sleep issues.
This study is building a long-term group of people with chronic excessive sleepiness (hypersomnolence) so researchers can better understand rare sleep disorders and related biology. It involves sleep-focused assessments and questionnaires, and you may or may not be on treatment for sleep problems.
This trial tests if sleeping more can help active people avoid the negative effects of not getting enough sleep. It might be a good fit if you exercise regularly and usually sleep 6 to 8 hours a night.
This study looks at how sleep quality changes when you work overnight at high altitude (2877m) at the Pic du Midi observatory, compared to sleeping at home. It helps understand the effects of high-altitude work on rest.
This study compares a new computer software for analyzing sleep quality with the standard sleep test (polysomnography). You would spend two nights at a clinic while wearing monitoring equipment to help researchers see if the new software works as well as the traditional method.
