Homeostatic Sleep Regulation in Older Persons
Homeostatic Sleep Regulation in Older Persons

The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that sleep homeostasis, also known as sleep pressure or sleep drive, is different in healthy older and younger individuals.

This was an inpatient study of healthy individuals to determine whether homeostatic "sleep drive" effects on sleep change with healthy aging.

Sleep, performance, and mood were studied on individuals sleeping different lengths of time and during wake periods of different durations.
