Join study on sleep and circadian rhythms, delayed sleep-wake phase disorder

The Sleep and Chronobiology Laboratory is looking for people with delayed sleep-wake phase disorder or people with late bedtimes, or healthy people with typical bedtimes.

The purpose of this study is to improve our understanding of mechanisms of delayed sleep-wake phase disorder (DSWPD).  We are testing patients with DSWPD as well as healthy people without DSWPD. The study is 6.5 weeks long with six in-person visits at CU Boulder.

You may be eligible for this study if you:

  • Are ages 16–30
  • Have a diagnosis of delayed-sleep wake phase disorder or have late bedtime after 1 a.m., an inability to fall asleep and difficulty awakening when required for school/work
  • Or are healthy with typical bedtimes and no sleep concerns

Study activities include:

  • Health screening
  • Monitor on separate occasions your sleep, mood, eating times for one or two weeks and blood sugar levels while living at home
  • Live in the sleep laboratory on two separate occasions for 48–66 hours (approximately 4.75 days in total)
  • Blood and saliva sampling and reaction time, mood, and ability to think testing

Compensation is up to $1,725. Get study details and apply.

Join our research study on circadian rhythms

The purpose of this study is to examine how light exposure and meal timing influences circadian rhythms in healthy people.

The study is seven weeks long with eight in-person visits at CU Boulder.

Participants live in the sleep laboratory on two separate occasions for 7.7 days (15.4 days total)

Compensation is up to $3,785. Get study details and information on how to apply.

Cardiovascular research study volunteers needed

The Integrative Physiology of Aging Lab is looking for volunteers to study the potential health effects of a new type of breathing exercise (a time efficient exercise) delivered via a smartphone app on blood pressure and vascular function.

Requirements:

  • Aged 18+ years
  • Higher blood pressure (systolic BP 120–160 mmHg)
  • Own an Apple or Android smartphone
  • Willing to perform breathing exercises 5–10 minutes per day, six days a week, for six weeks

Benefits include:

  • Detailed blood panel (cholesterol, glucose, etc.)
  • Blood pressure screening
  • Monetary compensation for time

If interested, email IMSTapp@colorado.edu or call 303-492-2485.

Paid research opportunity in the Integrative Physiology of Aging Lab

A biological hallmark of aging is “cellular senescence”, which is associated with cardiovascular dysfunction. Compounds called “senolytics” that decrease the number or amount of senescent cells may be effective for improving age-related cardiovascular dysfunction and possibly brain health. 

The Integrative Physiology of Aging Lab at CU Boulder is trying to determine whether intermittent oral supplementation with a natural compound with senolytic properties called fisetin (found in strawberries, onions and cucumbers and available as dietary supplement) will improve blood vessel function, reduce artery stiffness, and improve cognitive function (a measure of brain health) in adults ages 65-plus.

Benefits for volunteers include: cardiovascular health assessment, cognitive function tests, blood tests and compensation for time. 

For more information, please email fisetinstudy@colorado.edu, or call 303-735-6410.
