NO
This study aims to test the hypothesis that presenting 0.25 Hz BB during a nap shortens the latency to slow-wave sleep in BB perceivers, compared to 0 Hz BB.
Efficacy
Confirmatory
Explanatory
Slow wave sleep latency
1)Sleep parameters other than slow wave sleep latency
2) Psychomotor vigilance test performance
3) Subjective sleepiness and mood
