Clinical Trial: Sleep Quality and Amyloid-Beta Kinetics

Study Status: Recruiting
Recruit Status: Recruiting
Study Type: Interventional

Official Title: Sleep Quality and Amyloid-Beta Kinetics

Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to change the concentration of amyloid-beta in human cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) by modification of sleep efficiency.

Detailed Summary: The purpose of the study is to investigate whether or not increasing sleep efficiency will change the concentration of amyloid-beta in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
Sponsor: Washington University School of Medicine

Current Primary Outcome: Change in Amyloid-beta (Abeta) production, clearance, and concentration in the CSF (cerebral spinal fluid) of individuals with poor sleep efficiency as measured by ng/ml. [ Time Frame: 36 hours of CSF collection ]

Original Primary Outcome: Same as current

Current Secondary Outcome: Change in Amyloid-beta (Abeta) production, clearance, and concentrations in the CSF (cerebral spinal fluid) following pharmacologic sleep induction.induction in individuals with poor sleep efficiency. [ Time Frame: 36 hours of CSF collection ]

Original Secondary Outcome: Same as current
