Summary
This study looked at whether sleeping at least an hour more each night for a week could help college students handle pain better. Thirty-six healthy young adults wore watches to track sleep and heart rate, and took pain tests (pressure and cold) before and after the sleep change. The goal was to see if more sleep raises pain tolerance and threshold.
