Clinical Trial Summary

Chronic sleep restriction is ubiquitous in both the general population and the military. The deleterious effects of sleep loss on human alertness and cognitive performance have been documented in numerous studies dating back to the nineteenth century. Over the past decade, evidence has emerged indicating that chronic sleep restriction may also precipitate deleterious, long lasting neuropathological changes in the brain. The purpose of this study is to determine neuropathological effects of sleep restriction and identify physiological mechanisms that correlate with sleep loss-induced performance impairment.
