Sleep and Lighting Effects Study

We are conducting research to learn more about how you respond to sleep loss, including how you feel and perform on tests when your sleep and wake timing is controlled in a laboratory, under differing lighting conditions. This study involves up to a 3-week screening process prior to an 8-day inpatient stay at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. During the 3-week screening process, you will keep a consistent 8-h sleep schedule, including wearing an activity monitor and completing daily sleep logs and call-ins. The inpatient period of the study will consist of 8 days, 7 nights of living in our lab. At the end of the study a 1 hour MRI will be conducted.

We will be studying healthy adults who are:

- Ages 18-40 years old
- Healthy (no medical, psychiatric, or sleep disorders)
- Non-smokers
- Not shift workers

Participants can receive up to $2,420.
