- {"endpoint_text":"- Changes in sleep efficiency between different sessions","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Sleep efficiency (SE = time asleep (min) / time in bed (min)); change in SE between different sessions."}
Secondary endpoints
- {"endpoint_text":"- Changes in other sleep indices between different sessions\n- Changes in perceived sleep quality between different sessions\n- Changes in circulating hormones involved in sleep and stress between different sessions\n- Changes in plasma catecholamines and serotonin between different sessions\n- Changes urinary catecholamine and serotonin excretion between different sessions","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Other sleep indices include sleep period time (SPT), wake after sleep onset (WASO), total sleep time (TST), sleep onset latency (SOL), sleep maintenance efficiency (SME), time in sleep stages (N1, N2, N3, REM, NREM), slow waves, sleep spindles. Perceived sleep quality assessed via questionnaires. Circulating hormones include growth hormone, melatonin, cortisol. Plasma and urinary catecholamines include adrenaline, noradrenaline, dopamine; serotonin measured in plasma and urine. Comparisons are between different sessions."}
