Summary

The overarching goal of this research study is to determine "proof of concept" of effect of a non-invasive sleep aid device on sleep and performance during sleep opportunities (naps) that occur during and after simulated night shift work.

Aim 1: To determine the effect of the ApolloNeuro device on sleep duration, sleep architecture, blood pressure, heart rate variability, and subjective ratings of sleep quality during and after simulated night shift work.

Aim 2: To determine the effect of the ApolloNeuro device on post-sleep psychomotor performance.

Interventions

DEVICE

Wrist worn vibro-acoustic device

The Apollo device is a wrist worn device that is similar to a typical wristwatch. It emits a vibration pattern based on settings selected on a designated mobile app.
