UMIN ID: UMIN000056163

Registered date:15/11/2024

Basic Information

• Recruitment status: Recruiting
• Health condition(s) or Problem(s) studied: Not applicable
• Date of first enrollment: 2024/11/15
• Target sample size: 50
• Countries of recruitment: Japan
• Study type: Interventional
• Intervention(s): Noise is presented at time intervals when the research participants are sleeping. Sound, light, and wind stimuli are presented to the research participants when they wake up.

Outcome(s)

• Primary Outcome: Effects of noise presentation during sleep on sleep efficiency and sleep state
• Secondary Outcome: Data of auditory thresholds Sleep evaluation data excluding sleep efficiency Sleep habit data from wearable devices Measurement data (number of steps, activity, heart rate, calories burned) by wearable device Sleep evaluation data by sleep condition Experimental environment data (sound) Experimental environment data (temperature and humidity) Stimulus presentation data upon waking up Questionnaire response data (age, gender, living environment, noise sensitivity, personality, insomnia)
