First seen Jan 05, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 20 times

Summary

This study looks at how sleep inertia—the grogginess you feel right after waking up—affects attention in people with major depression. Researchers will compare three groups: depressed patients with sleep inertia, depressed patients without it, and healthy controls. They will use a simple reaction-time test to measure alertness before and after sleep.
