Effect of Vestibular Stimulation on Sleep in Elderly

Sleep Clinical Trial

Official title:
Effect of Vestibular Stimulation on Sleep in Elderly

Clinical Trial Summary

Vestibular stimulation might be beneficial for sleep. Previous research demonstrated that lateral rocking movements can facilitate the transition from wake to sleep during an afternoon nap. However, the relationship between rocking movements and sleep is poorly understood to date. Furthermore, studies looking at the effects of rocking on sleep have not yet been performed in an elderly population. Due to age related changes in sleep, people often experience a decrease in sleep efficiency and sleep quality later in life. Therefore, it is particularly this population that could benefit from a possible enhancement in sleep efficiency and sleep quality. In order to assess the effect of vestibular stimulation on sleep and sleep-dependant memory, measurements of two nights with stimulation will be compared to two baseline nights. The primary outcomes are changes in sleep onset, sleep architecture and power density spectra of the EEG due to vestibular stimulation. Secondary endpoints are sleep dependent changes in memory, the proximal-distal temperature gradient, cardiorespiratory variables and dream content.
