Normal Sleep
Sleep Restriction
Patients with Insomnia Disorder
Normal Sleep - Healthy participants are permitted normal nights of polysomnography or actigraphy recorded sleep before participating in an emotion regulation task during functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) scanning
Healthy Participants are sleep restricted to 4 hours of sleep for 3 consecutive days before participating in an emotion regulation task during functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) scanning
Patients with Insomnia Disorder will also be recruited and will be permitted normal nights of polysomnography or actigraphy recorded sleep before participating in an emotion regulation task during functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) scanning
