New treatment option for Memory
Official title Longitudinal Investigation of Sleep, Memory, and Brain Development Across the Nap Transition
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06351098
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- To examine the relations between sleep (nap transitions, sleep physiology), memory, and brain development longitudinally, the researchers will assess n=180 children (in order to acquire n=152 usable data sets) who are 36-54 months of age and habitual nappers at enrollment. In each wave, the researchers will assess memory, memory change over a nap and equivalent waking interval, sleep physiology of the nap, and brain structure and function (using Magnetic Resonance Imagining or MRI).

Who can take part
Ages 36 to 60. Healthy volunteers may be eligible.
You may be able to join if
- 36-60 months at the time of enrollment
- must be a habitual napper (defined as napping 5 or more days/week on average for the past month)
- must sleep independently (not bedsharing; in order to maintain consistent sleep not interrupted by others)
You likely can't join if
- diagnosis of any sleep disorder (other than mild parasomnia which is routine at this age) past or present (Child's Sleep Habit Questionnaire)
- current use of psychotropic or sleep-altering medications (Developmental, Health, and Environment Questionnaire)
- traveling beyond 1 time zone within 1 month prior to testing (phone screening)
- fever or symptoms of respiratory illness at the time of testing (phone screening)
- physical handicap which interferes with assessments (vision, hearing impairment; phone screening)
- diagnosed developmental disability (Developmental, Health, and Environment Questionnaire)

- presence of metal in the body (e.g., implant of any form) or other contraindication for MRI (e.g., claustrophobia, which is rare at this age).
- external influences on nap habits (e.g., inability to nap due to school or caregiver schedule or interfering activities during a typical naptime) including if the child will enroll in full-day kindergarten by the end of...
