Sleep study for healthy people living at high altitudes
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares how well people sleep when they live at very high altitudes (above 2600 meters) compared to at sea level. By participating, you'll help researchers learn how high-altitude living affects sleep and breathing during the night.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old
- You permanently live at an altitude above 2600 meters (about 8500 feet)
- You are generally healthy – no heart or lung problems that limit your daily activities
- You have not traveled to altitudes below 2000 meters (about 6500 feet) and stayed overnight there in the last 4 weeks
- You can give written consent to take part

This study compares sleep quality and breathing patterns in people with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) who live at high altitude versus those at sea level. It aims to understand how altitude affects sleep in PAH, which could help improve care for patients living in high-altitude areas.
This study measures how well your lungs work at sea level compared to high altitude in healthy people. By joining, you'll help researchers understand how the body responds to different oxygen levels.
This study looks at how your heart rate changes as you travel from high altitude (2850 meters) down to sea level and back up again. It aims to understand how healthy people's heart rhythm adapts to altitude changes, which might help in future care for those with heart or lung issues.
This study looks at how your heart and lungs handle the thin air at high altitudes compared to sea level. It aims to understand normal changes in blood pressure in your lungs, which may help people with certain heart or lung conditions.
This study measures how your lungs handle pressure when you go back to living at high altitude after being at sea level. It helps doctors learn more about how healthy bodies adapt to high places.
This study compares how far healthy people can walk in six minutes when they are at high altitude versus at low altitude. It might help us learn how living at high altitudes affects fitness and exercise capacity.
