Participation in Sleep Research


In laboratory opportunities, you need to be in the Dayton, Ohio area

We are currently performing experiments to discover physiological differences between good sleepers and poor sleepers between the ages of 21 and 50. The experiments involve sleeping in the sleep laboratory at the Dayton Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center for a few nights while we monitor your sleep. We will review your results with you, if you wish, and you will be paid for your participation in the study.

If you have questions or would like more information, please email the sleeplab** (include your name, mailing address, and phone number where you can be reached during the day) or give us a call at (937) 267-3910.
