This study is a nonrandomized, unblinded, uncontrolled case series clinical trial validating the SmartSleep product, including SleepMapper app in the home setting. It is intended to provide data related to product use and cognitive testing incorporating a longer baseline period for comparison purposes. It will include adults (21-50 yr. old) who are working full time and report shortened sleep due to lifestyle. For the purposes of this study, shortened sleep is defined as sleeping at least 5 hrs. of sleep per night, and sleeping less than or equal to 7 hrs. at least 3 nights per week. Participants also increase their sleep duration by ≥ 1 hour on the weekends. In addition, participants report a sleep latency ≤ 30 minutes less than or equal to 3 nights per week. Participants are generally healthy individuals who have not been diagnosed with any sleep-related medical conditions. In addition, participants diagnosed with major organ system diseases or requiring oxygen therapy are excluded from participation. Up to 75 individuals will be consented in order to complete a total of 50 participants using a nonrandomized design. The study involves an initial screening visit followed by home use of the SmartSleep device with SleepMapper app. The home use will include an initial week of baseline use followed by 3 weeks of use with boost on. Study staff will contact participants after the first week of use as a reminder. Participants will be asked to complete a battery of cognitive tests upon wake up each morning. Participants will be asked to complete a question twice daily during the home use period. Additional phone calls may occur on an as needed basis if issues arise. The final visit will be an in facility visit in which all study equipment will be returned. The anticipated study duration will be up to 6 weeks (including the 4 weeks of use period).

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

What they're measuring
1
The effects of the auditory stimulation delivered by the SmartSleep device in adults with shortened sleep schedules due to lifestyle as determined by changes in the cumulative (CSWA) or average slow-wave activity.
