Experimental Treatment
Placebo Group
Group I: Subjects Who Received TES SOExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants will sleep for approximately a two hour period and receive TES SO via the NeuroConn DC Stimulator PLUS during the second hour of that two hour sleep period. They will then experience a 46 hour period of sleep deprivation, during which cognitive performance, mood and subjective and objective aspects of sleepiness will be assessed approximately every 75 minutes beginning on the night of restricted sleep/treatment.
Group II: Received SHAM (no TES SO)Placebo Group1 Intervention
Participants will sleep for approximately a two hour period and receive a SHAM (no TES SO) during the second hour of that two hour sleep period. They will then experience a 46 hour period of sleep deprivation, during which cognitive performance, mood and subjective and objective aspects of sleepiness will be assessed approximately every 75 minutes beginning on the night of restricted sleep/treatment.
