Mind After Midnight (NCT07438912)
The Mind After Midnight: Mechanistic Examination of Nocturnal Wakefulness as a Suicide Risk Factor
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This study examines whether wakefulness during the biological night (2:00-4:00 AM) is associated with increased negative mood, impaired decision-making, and suicidal thoughts. Adults with a history of suicidal ideation in the past six months will complete laboratory and home-based assessments under varying levels of sleep pressure. Participants will be evaluated during late-night wakefulness and under conditions of both higher and lower sleep pressure. The goal of the study is to better understand the biological and behavioral mechanisms that may contribute to elevated suicide risk during nocturnal wakefulness.
