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.

• 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.

The study is open to mothers of 3- to 5-year-old children who are acquiring English as a first language.

The total time for the study is 40–45 minutes or less, depending on number of breaks. 

We will send you a $20 Amazon gift card within one to two weeks of study completion (and a $5 gift card even if you complete only part of the study).

The University of Colorado takes care and pride in helping faculty and staff to manage their retirement assets. We are committed to offering high quality retirement services, including best-in-class investment options, personal financial advice and retirement programs through TIAA and PERA, in addition to comprehensive resources to assist faculty and staff at every stage of their careers.

That’s why we want to make you aware of unauthorized, misleading solicitations for financial advice from individuals and/or organizations claiming to be associated with CU. These solicitations, delivered through emails, event invitations and cold calls, purport to help with financial planning. Most are intentionally misleading and falsely suggest that CU endorses their services.
