Study Summary

This trial will test the hypothesis that chronotype (preference for morning or evening activity) and impaired sleep impact cigarette usage, smoking dependence, urge/craving, and withdrawal differently in blacks compared to whites.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 who can read and speak English, identify as non-Hispanic African American or white, and live in Alabama. It's for daily smokers (5+ cigarettes a day for the past year) or non-smokers (less than 100 cigarettes lifetime, none in the last year).Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study examines how sleep patterns affect cigarette cravings and withdrawal by comparing two conditions: extending participants' sleep time versus restricting it. The focus is on racial differences in these effects.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves manipulating sleep patterns, side effects may include tiredness, irritability, changes in mood or alertness due to altered sleep duration.
