Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Gene expression changes associated with different sleep patterns.
Levels of expression of all genes may be compared across time and among study arms with different sleep patterns using RNA-Seq and differential expression analysis with generalized linear models. Patterns may be sought with and potential relevance to sleep, circadian rhythms, and/or neurobehavioral performance.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Neurobehavioral performance changes associated with different sleep patterns.
Neurobehavioral performance may be compared across time and among study arms with different sleep patterns. Specifically, differences will be examined in subjective and objective neurobehavioral assays (Karolinska sleepiness scale, Performance effort and evaluation rating scale, Digit symbol substitution test, Stroop performance, Raven matrix task, Comparative visual search, Face-name task, Psychomotor vigilance test, Visual analog scale, Track test, and the Balloon analog risk task). Patterns may be sought with relevance to sleep, circadian rhythms, and/or other outcome measures.
DNA genetic variants associated with sleep and/or neurobehavioral performance.
Analysis of genetic variants may be used to assess inherited genetic differences among subjects and potential relevance to sleep, circadian rhythms, and/or neurobehavioral performance.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This study is designed to assess neurobehavioral performance, as well as genetic and other physiological changes associated with variations in timing and quantity of sleep.
Detailed Description
During a 1.5 week inpatient laboratory protocol, subjects will undergo one of four parallel sleep conditions. Subjects will be randomly assigned to each condition group. During their time in the laboratory, biological samples (e.g., blood) will be collected for genetic and other analyses, and sleep quantity and quality will be monitored. Additionally responses on neurobehavioral tests and surveys will be monitored for differences among the groups.

Intervention Description
Duration and timing of sleep will be assigned and monitored in a controlled laboratory environment with controlled lighting and meals.
Primary Outcome Measure Information:
Title
Gene expression changes associated with different sleep patterns.
Description
Levels of expression of all genes may be compared across time and among study arms with different sleep patterns using RNA-Seq and differential expression analysis with generalized linear models. Patterns may be sought with and potential relevance to sleep, circadian rhythms, and/or neurobehavioral performance.
Time Frame
Samples for gene expression will be collected at frequent intervals over 10 days in a sleep laboratory. Subjects will be in a time-free environment, and not told sampling frequency.
Secondary Outcome Measure Information:
Title
Neurobehavioral performance changes associated with different sleep patterns.
Description
Neurobehavioral performance may be compared across time and among study arms with different sleep patterns. Specifically, differences will be examined in subjective and objective neurobehavioral assays (Karolinska sleepiness scale, Performance effort and evaluation rating scale, Digit symbol substitution test, Stroop performance, Raven matrix task, Comparative visual search, Face-name task, Psychomotor vigilance test, Visual analog scale, Track test, and the Balloon analog risk task). Patterns may be sought with relevance to sleep, circadian rhythms, and/or other outcome measures.
Time Frame
Neurobehavioral assays may be conducted at frequent intervals over 10 days in a sleep laboratory. Subjects will be in a time-free environment, and not told assay frequency.
Title
DNA genetic variants associated with sleep and/or neurobehavioral performance.
Description
Analysis of genetic variants may be used to assess inherited genetic differences among subjects and potential relevance to sleep, circadian rhythms, and/or neurobehavioral performance.
Time Frame
Approximately two oral samples may be taken for DNA analyses during the 10 days in a sleep laboratory.
Other Pre-specified Outcome Measures:
Title
Microbiome metrics associated with sleep and/or neurobehavioral performance.
Description
Fecal samples will be collected and may be analyzed in the future for microbiome differences among subjects, over time, and/or with respect to study conditions and metrics (e.g., differences in microbiome associated with sleep and/or neurobehavioral performance).
Time Frame
Approximately three fecal samples will be collected over the 10 days in a sleep laboratory for potential future microbiome analyses.
Title
Metabolite and protein metrics associated with sleep and/or neurobehavioral performance.
Description
Blood samples will be collected and may be analysed in the future for metabolite, protein, or other molecular differences among subjects, over time, and/or with respect to study conditions and metrics (e.g., differences associated with sleep and/or neurobehavioral performance).
Time Frame
A series of blood samples will be collected over the 10 days in a sleep laboratory for potential future analyses.
Title
Additional urine and saliva
Description
Urine and saliva samples will be collected and may be analyzed in the future for metabolite, protein, or other genetic differences among subjects, over time, and/or with respect to study conditions and metrics
Time Frame
Saliva and urine samples will be collected frequently during wake over the 10 days in a sleep laboratory for potential future analyses
Title
Additional physiological metrics.
Description
Actigraphy, polysomnography, screening data and log/diary information will be collected and may be analysed in the future for comparison with other outcome measures, and particularly associations with sleep, circadian rhythms, and/or neurobehavioral performance.
Time Frame
Frequent data collection will be made prior to and during the 10 days in a sleep laboratory, including approximately 3 nights of polysomnography.
