Power naps get a jolt: electrical brain stimulation aims to fix Non-Restorative sleep
NCT ID NCT07090135
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 32 times
Summary
This study tests whether gentle electrical stimulation to the brain during a short nap can improve the quality of sleep and reduce mental tiredness. Twenty-five adults with non-restorative sleep will take two naps while wearing a special cap that records brain activity and delivers mild stimulation. Researchers will measure changes in brain waves and sleep quality to see if this approach helps sleep feel more restorative.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
transcranial electrical stimulation with temporal interference (TES-TI) device
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a drug-free way to improve sleep quality and reduce daytime fatigue.
What could go wrong
This is a very early, small study (25 people) testing a device, not a proven treatment. The effects may be small or not last, and the stimulation might cause discomfort or not work for everyone.
As listed by the trial registrant
