Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that sleep homeostasis, also known as sleep pressure or sleep drive, is different in healthy older and younger individuals.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This was an inpatient study of healthy individuals to determine whether homeostatic "sleep drive" effects on sleep change with healthy aging. Sleep, performance, and mood were studied on individuals sleeping different lengths of time and during wake periods of different durations.
