Arms

  • Experimental: Subjects Who Received Acoustic Stimulation
    Following 40 hours of deprivation participants will sleep for approximately a four hour recovery sleep period and receive acoustic stimulation via the Philips SmartSleep during slow-wave sleep. They will then sleep for second night of four hour recovery sleep and receive acoustic stimulation via the Philips Smart Sleep device during slow-wave sleep again.
  • Sham Comparator: Subjects Who Received Sham (no Acoustic Stimulation)
    Following 40 hours of deprivation participants will sleep for approximately a four hour recovery sleep period and receive Sham (no acoustic stimulation) via the Philips SmartSleep during slow-wave sleep. They will then sleep for second night of four hour recovery sleep and receive Sham (no acoustic stimulation) via the Philips Smart Sleep device during slow-wave sleep again.

Primary Outcome Measure

Measure the effects of sleep deprivation/sleep restriction on performance using the Psychomotor Vigilance Task (PVT) [ Time Frame: 8 days ]
