Study Subjects Sought

Attention Sleepers!

The Clinical Psychobiology Branch, NIMH, is recruiting male and female healthy volunteers, with no sleep disturbances, who qualify as long (more than 9 hours per night) or short (less than 6 hours per night) sleepers, and who sleep long or short on a regular basis. Volunteers should have no history of mental illness and should not be on any medications, including over-the-counter medications and birth control. In one study, participants will spend 5 consecutive nights on a NIMH research unit. After the second night, subjects will remain on the unit around the clock until the morning after the fifth night. The study does not involve taking any medications. Contact Holly Giesen, 6-6981, or email hgiesen@box-h.nih.gov.
