Summary

This monocentric, cross-over, randomised, double blind and placebo-controlled study evaluates the effects of auditory stimulations of the sleep slow oscillation on deep sleep quality.

Detailed description

Sleep quality impairment has long been identified as a risk factor to develop cardio-vascular, metabolic and more recently neurodegenerative diseases. The slow wave sleep, characterized by slow oscillations, has a major role on memory and hormones releasing. Here, we aim to assess a miniaturized sleep device that would automatically detect and stimulate sleep slow oscillations with sounds to enhance deep sleep quality. The subjects realize 3 conditions : * Up condition : Auditory stimulations are delivered in synchrony with the up phase of slow oscillations during N3 sleep stage. * Random condition : Auditory stimulations are randomly delivered during N3 sleep stage. * Placebo condition: The device is worn without any auditory stimulations delivered. The subjects are equipped with a reference polysomnography and the auditory stimulation device during 3 nights and one habituation night prior to them. A wash out period of 6 days between each night will be respected.
