• Insomnia
• Pregnancy and Sleep
• Opioid Addiction and Sleep – Opioid Use Disorder (OUD)

Shift Work Disorder (SWD)

REACT

The goal of REACT is to help night shift workers be more alert, alleviate sleep problems, and to better understand the causes of Shift Work Disorder. Participants will wear an Apple Watch, fill out daily sleep diaries, provide saliva samples in the lab over two 24-hour visits, utilize light-therapy in the sleep lab over a 4-night visit, and may utilize virtual Cognitive Behavioral Therapy sessions. Participation in REACT is compensated and requires in-person visits. In total, participation can last 3-4 months

SHIFT

The goal of SHIFT is to test the ability of an Apple Watch and mobile app to personalize sleep treatment for night shift workers to see if their symptoms of insomnia and sleepiness improve. Participants will wear an Apple Watch, fill out daily sleep diaries, provide saliva samples in the lab over two 24-hour, and utilize light-therapy at home. In total, participation can last 4-7 weeks.

Drug Therapy Trials

Opioid Use Disorder (OUD)

In this study, investigators want to learn more about the effects of an FDA-approved insomnia medication, suvorexant, on opioid abstinence and sleep efficiency. Participants will receive the study medication or a placebo for 12 weeks, fill-out weekly questionnaires, and undergo an at-home sleep study. Participation in this study is compensated and can be done from the comfort of your own home after consenting to the study at one in-person visit.
