LEAP2 Study – Ages 18-30

STUDY BASICS

Are you an 18 to 30-year-old male with no sleep problems? You may be eligible to participate in a research study looking at the effects of bright light on circadian rhythm (our internal biological clock).

STUDY PURPOSE

This study hopes to learn how different kinds of short flashes of light can change the timing of your internal clock to combat jet lag.

Eligible participants:

• Are healthy males between the ages of 18-30 years old 
• Do not have bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, or alcohol/substance use problems 
• Do not have major sleep disorders

WHAT PARTICIPANTS CAN EXPECT

This study involves a 1.5-hour initial eligibility interview, a 14-day sleep tracking period at home (via wrist activity monitor and online sleep log), and a 3-night visit to our sleep lab for a simulated jet lag procedure. Participants will also complete online questionnaires and sleep assessments. Compensation is up to $670 for the completion of all main study procedures.
