Sleep Deprivation Study
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the measures of brain function, both neurophysiological (event-related potentials (ERPs) and functional (cognitive assessments), in response to sleep deprivation.

Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Experimental: Sleep Deprivation and Caffeine Intervention Participants randomized into the sleep deprivation group and then randomized into receiving caffeinated coffee the next morning. Participant is blinded to the caffeine intervention. |
Behavioral: Sleep Deprivation
Participants will be randomized into either the sleep deprivation group or the control group, who will sleep regularly.
Other: Caffeine
On Day 2 morning, after the sleep deprivation or sleeping, participants will be randomized into receiving caffeinated or de-caffeinated coffee, which they will be blinded to.
|
| Sham Comparator: Sleep Deprivation and no Caffeine intervention Participants randomized into the sleep deprivation group and then randomized into receiving de-caffeinated coffee the next morning. Participant is blinded to the caffeine intervention. |
Behavioral: Sleep Deprivation
