About
The goal of this study is to understand factors that contribute to delayed sleep wake phase disorder (DSWPD). The investigators will examine whether patients with DSWPD exhibit alterations in circadian rhythms and sensitivity to light compared to healthy controls. The investigators will also test a new method of predicting circadian rhythms form a blood sample.
Full description
The research parts of the study are 6.5 weeks long and the study, including screening visits, involves 6 in-person visits to the Boulder campus.
If participants qualify for the study and choose to participate, there will be two visits where participants will pick up research equipment to wear at home for 1-2 weeks of ambulatory monitoring before being studied in the laboratory. The first ambulatory monitoring session is for 2 weeks and the second is one week.
Next will be a visit where participants will spend 66 hours (2.75 days) in the laboratory.
The investigators will then ask participants to sleep normally at home for ~2 weeks, followed by 1 week of ambulatory monitoring.
Finally, there will be a visit where participants will spend 48 hours (2 days) in the laboratory.
