Summary

This trial will study how sleep deprivation and undisturbed sleep affects the processing and retrieval of emotional information, what mechanisms are associated with these behavioral effects, and if recovery sleep can reverse the effects of sleep deprivation.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals who can follow the study's rules and are willing to avoid alcohol and recreational drugs during the study. They must have normal vision (with or without correction) and be right-handed. People with sleep issues, mental illness, neurological disorders, or those taking medication affecting sleep or cognition cannot participate.
What is being tested?
The study examines how lack of sleep and recovery sleep affect emotional memory and mood reactions. It will look at how a good night's rest versus being awake all night influences emotions, what brain activities are linked to these effects, and if a nap can help reverse any negative impacts of missed sleep.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves sleep deprivation followed by recovery naps without medicinal interventions, side effects may include tiredness, irritability, difficulty concentrating, mood changes during the deprivation period but not long-term physical side effects.
