Do you have trouble sleeping and current or past Depression?
What is the purpose of this research study?
This study examines differences in processing sleep-related information in people who have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep, but have no history of depression compared with those who have trouble sleeping and also have current or past depression.

In this study, we will review questionnaires that participants fill out, including 2 weeks of baseline sleep diary monitoring, and participants will complete 2 overnight sleep studies. During the sleep study we will monitor the electrical activity brain while sleeping (EEG), airflow and associated breathing effort, body movements, oxygen saturations, and your heart rate and rhythm (EKG). This type of study, which is a standard procedure for the evaluation of sleep disorders, is provided to you at no cost.
Other evaluations in this study will see how participants perform on tests of attention. Click here to view a video about our program (Windows Media Player required).
