Sleep-dependent Learning in Aging Study
This study is looking at how sleep affects memory as people get older. Researchers want to understand if changes in sleep, memory, or both, lead to differences in how well we learn and remember things after sleeping. You would participate in either a mid-day nap or normal overnight sleep. The study will measure how accurate your memory is after these sleep periods, compared to a control group. They are looking for 584 healthy adults between 18 and 80 years old who do not have any diagnosed sleep or brain disorders. The current recruitment status is unclear.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study with a planned enrollment of 584 participants.
- What's involved
- Participants will sleep (either a mid-day nap or normal overnight sleep) and have their memory accuracy measured at 2 hours or 12 hours.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Memory accuracy will be measured at 2 hours or 12 hours after the intervention.

What this trial measures
- Change in memory accuracy for intervention compared to control2 hours (Experiments 1,4) or 12 hours (Experiments 2,3,5,6)
We will measure memory accuracy before the sleep/wake interval and subtract this from memory accuracy after the sleep wake interval. If sleep benefits memory then this value will be greater in the sleep condition compared to the wake condition.
