Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.
| List | Outcome | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Change in Nocturnal Heart Rate as measured by OURA Ring | Daily from baseline through study completion at 8 weeks | Heart rate (beats per minute) will be quantified throughout the night via the OURA ring. |
| Primary | Change in Sleep Quantity as measured by Electroencephalography | Daily from baseline through study completion at 8 weeks | Sleep stage duration (and the cumulative sleep duration) will be quantified each night via the Dreem headband, which uses Electroencephalography (EEG) for automatic sleep stage scoring. |
| Primary | Change in Subjective Sleep Quality | Daily from baseline through study completion at 8 weeks | A custom daily morning questionnaire will be used to record how a participant feels the quality of their sleep was the previous night (e.g. 1, very poor; 10 excellent). This questionnaire will be taken on the participants smartphone within 30 minutes of waking. |
| Primary | Change in Nocturnal Heart Rate Variability as measured by OURA Ring | Daily from baseline through study completion at 8 weeks | Heart rate variability will be quantified throughout the night via the OURA ring. |
| Primary | Change in Anxiety surrounding Float-REST as measured by the State Trait Anxiety Index | Before and after each float session (Weeks 5-7) | Participants will complete the previously validated State Trait Anxiety Index (STAI) before and after each float session as a measure of subjective anxiety, where higher scores are suggestive of greater anxiety. State-Trait Anxiety Index (STAI) - Commonly used measure of state and trait anxiety, and done with 20 very brief questions. Values range from 20 to 80, with higher scores representing more severe anxiety. Participants will complete the STAI questionnaire before and after each session. The sessions will take place during weeks 5-7. |
| Primary | Change in heart rate during Float-REST as measured via Electrocardiography | During each float session (weeks 5-7) | Participants will be monitored throughout float sessions using a heart rate monitor that will capture trends in cardiovascular physiology throughout the session. |
| Primary | Change in heart rate variability during Float-REST as measured via Electrocardiography | During each float session (weeks 5-7) | Participants will be monitored throughout float sessions using a heart rate monitor that will capture trends in cardiovascular physiology throughout the session. |
| Secondary | Change in Subjective Athens Insomnia Scale measured via questionnaire | Weekly throughout study completion at 8 weeks | Participants will complete previously validated questionnaires as often as once weekly throughout the study period (8 weeks). Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS) - eight-item questionnaire assessing sleep behaviors on a scale of 0 to 3. Higher scores = greater difficulty. |
| Secondary | Change in Subjective Epworth Sleepiness Scale measured via questionnaire | Weekly throughout study completion at 8 weeks | Participants will complete previously validated questionnaires as often as once weekly throughout the study period (8 weeks). Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) - eight-item questionnaire assessing sleep behaviors on a scale of 0 to 3. Higher scores = increased average sleep propensity in daily life |
| Secondary | Change in Subjective Insomnia Severity Index measured via questionnaire | Weekly throughout study completion at 8 weeks | Participants will complete previously validated questionnaires as often as once weekly throughout the study period (8 weeks). Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) - seven-item questionnaire assessing sleep behaviors on a scale of 0 to 3. Higher scores = increased severity. |
