Sleep Healthy Using the Internet Mitigating Insomnia to Address Neurocognitive Difficulties (SHUTi...
InsomniaCognitive Dysfunction8 moreThis randomized controlled trial will evaluate the impact of an Internet-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) intervention on sleep and the extent to which it contributes to cognitive health in individuals with mild cognitive impairment. Participants with insomnia who meet the study criteria for mild cognitive impairment will be recruited to determine the effects of the CBT-I intervention compared to a patient education condition on sleep and cognition. Internet-based recruitment methods will be used, and outcomes include sleep variables, daytime variables, and cognitive status.
Biomarkers for Circadian Timing in Healthy Adults
Sleep Wake DisordersSleep Disorders13 moreStudy investigators want to learn more about the underlying biological clock and to see if the timing of that clock can be estimated from a single blood sample.
Breath Biomarkers for Sleep Loss and Circadian Timing
Shift-Work Sleep DisorderShift Work Type Circadian Rhythm Sleep Disorder11 moreInsufficient sleep has both health and safety risks, but currently there are no quick, accurate and inexpensive ways to measure sleep deficiency. The current study aims to use a cutting-edge technology, small molecule analysis (e.g. metabolomics), to detect compounds in breath that reliably change with sleep-wake state and those whose levels vary by time of day.
Twenty-six Week Extension Trial of Org 50081 (Esmirtazapine) in Outpatients With Chronic Primary...
Sleep Initiation and Maintenance DisordersMental Disorders4 moreThis trial is a 26-week, open label extension trial to investigate safety and explore efficacy of esmertazapine in participants with insomnia who completed protocol 21106/P05701/MK-8265-002 (NCT00631657).

Sleep Initiation and Maintenance DisordersMental Disorders4 moreTo investigate the long-term efficacy and safety of treatment with esmirtazapine (Org 50081, SCH 900265, MK-8265) compared to placebo, in participants with chronic primary insomnia. Primary efficacy variable is Total Sleep Time (TST).
Comparison of Two Telemonitoring Auto-titrating Modalities in OSA Patients
ApneaSleep Apnea Syndromes8 moreThis study compares the titration pressures achieved through two auto-titrating modalities, a new incremental fixed pressure mode versus routine auto-adjusting pressure mode, in CPAP-naïve obstructive sleep apnea patients. The aim of the study is to verify that this new modality achieves a lower titration pressure.

Sleep Initiation and Maintenance DisordersSleep Disorders1 moreThis study will evaluate the effect of regular aerobic exercise on improving sleep in older adults with moderate difficulty sleeping.
The BEST Study: The Efficacy of Brain Entrainment Sleep Technology in Military Healthcare Beneficiaries...
SleepSleep Disorders6 moreBrain Entrainment Technology (BET), also known as Binaural Beat Technology (BBT); is an auditory-neurophysiologic technique which uses auditory tones (often embedded in music, nature sounds or white noise) dichotically via stereo headphones to manipulate brainwave activity in turn affecting the listener's mental, physical and/or emotional state. Although this technology is widely marketed to the general public and can be found free in on the internet, only a hand full of scientific studies have shown its efficacy. This study is a follow-on study to the "Sound Mind Warrior (SMW) Study" (ClinicalTrials.gov [NCT02328690]) conducted 2012-2015 which assessed the efficacy of the technology (in the "theta" brainwave frequency) on the cardiovascular stress response in a group of service members with complaint of chronic stress. This study will now assess BET (in the "delta" brainwave frequency) on sleep quality in a population of military healthcare beneficiaries with complaint of poor sleep quality.
