Summary
This study looks at how sleeping at high altitude (2,877 meters) affects the sleep quality of 32 employees at Pic du Midi. Researchers will compare nights spent at home versus nights spent at the summit using sleep recordings. The goal is to understand sleep changes in people who regularly work in extreme conditions.
