Study Summary

Purpose of the Study
The team at Northwest Sleep Research is investigating improvements to sleep quality. You are invited to participate in a research study evaluating a wearable system that measures sleep patterns and related next-day performance. The study collects physiological sleep data and may include the use of mild, non-invasive stimulation during sleep. This is research and is not medical treatment. Participation is voluntary, and you may cease participation at any time.
What Participation Involves
* You will complete three nights of sleep data collection in your home. Two out of the three nights will wake you after 4-5 hours of sleep.
* The nights are non-consecutive and will be scheduled over several weeks.
* Study staff will arrive at your home 1 hour before your intended bedtime. You will take a 30-minute computer-based assessment, then staff will apply our sleep monitoring sensors (including a head cap with electrode gel), soft headphones on your ears with athletic tape, and adhesive electrodes behind your ears. Staff will then leave your home before you go to sleep.
* The following morning, you will complete another 30-minute computer-based assessment.
* During the night, the electrical signals from your brain activity will be recorded. There will be no video or audio recording.
* Soft audio tones may be played into headphones and mild stimulation may occur during sleep as part of the study.
* Study staff will return to your home to retrieve the equipment at a mutually agreed time after each study night.
* After each study night, electrode gel will be left in your hair. This gel washes out with regular shampoo and water.
Compensation
Participants in this study will receive up to $400 in Amazon gift cards. Participants receive $75 after each completed overnight session, with an additional $175 completion bonus paid after completing the third night, totaling up to $400 in total compensation. All compensation is paid in Amazon gift cards.

At any time, the participant or Northwest Sleep Research may choose to cease participation in the study. Participants will then be compensated for completed nights only.
You are ineligible to participate if you: have a history of seizures or epilepsy, a neurological disorder, an implanted medical device, are pregnant, have significant hearing impairment, have a medical condition that may substantially affect sleep, are currently taking medication that significantly affects sleep, alertness, balance, or seizure threshold, or if you have a history of severe dizziness, vertigo, or a balance disorder.
Risks include sleep disruption, fatigue, or discomfort from wearing monitoring equipment. Rarely, skin irritation from wearing electrodes, dizziness or vertigo, nausea, or headache may occur. Other unanticipated discomforts or risks are possible, though not expected.

Some aspects of the equipment work best when participants can remain in bed through the night. During a typical night, how many times do you get out of bed after you have fallen asleep (for any reason)?
