Development of a Wearable Device to Assess Sleep

Summary

We are conducting a study to examine the relationship between subjective and objective measures of sleep quality after exercise.

We are looking for 60 individuals to volunteer in a sleep study, which includes two weeks of wearing an activity-tracking watch, two nights of an overnight, in-home sleep assessment and three questionnaires regarding your sleep. You will also be asked to perform an aerobic fitness test and a single exercise training session.
