Study to uncover morning fog in depression
NCT ID NCT06732284
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at sleep inertia—the grogginess and poor attention right after waking—in people with major depression. Researchers will test reaction times and monitor sleep in 110 participants, including depressed patients with and without sleep inertia, plus healthy controls. The goal is to better understand how depression affects morning alertness.
