About this trial

Observational study:

The goal of this observational study is to learn about the association between slow wave activity before awakening and post-awakening psychomotor vigilance task in time-fixed, 2-hour, simulated night naps in healthy individuals.

The main question aims to answer is:

Is the quantity of slow wave activity immediately before awakening associated with post-awakening psychomotor vigilance task metrics when awakened after 2-hour nap at night?

Eligibility criteria

Presence of restless legs syndrome as assessed with IRLSSG criteria

Presence of depression as assessed by HADS (Exclude participants with HADS-Depression sub-scale score ≥8 (possible depression)

History of irregular work hours or shift work within 2 weeks

Trial population

Healthy volunteers aged between 18 and 60 years, without significant sleep deprivation

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Nap intervention

    Behavioral

    Nap intervention is the protocol that allows the participant to sleep from 11:00 PM to 2:00 AM, then woken up.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

psychomotor vigilance test (PVT)

To investigate the association between slow wave activity (SWA) as assessed by electroencephalographic power spectral analysis during the last 10 minutes before awakening and a 10-minute psychomotor vigilance test (10-min PVT) immediately after awakening and 30 minutes after awakening in healthy participants on simulated night shifts

Time frame
Psychomotor vigilance test (PVT) will be assessed 2 times: 1) immediately after awakening, and 2) at 30 minutes after awakening.
