Psychiatry and Sleep

REKINDLE

REKINDLE is a new compensated research study for individuals experiencing adjustment disorder or depressive symptoms following a medical diagnosis such as Cancer, MS, ALS, and IPF. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether an investigational psychedelic medication, administered as a subcutaneous injection, may help improve mood and promote remission of depression. Participation in the study lasts approximately 10 weeks and includes 8 in-person visits to our clinic in Novi, Michigan, as well as 2 phone calls. Participants will receive compensation for each completed visit.

If interested, please complete a brief 10-minute screening questionnaire using this link. A study team member will contact you to discuss eligibility.

Night Shift Work

REACT

The goal of REACT is to help night shift workers be more alert, alleviate sleep problems, and to better understand the causes of Shift Work Disorder. Participants will wear an Apple Watch, fill out daily sleep diaries, provide saliva samples in the lab over two 24-hour visits, utilize light-therapy in the sleep lab over a 4-night visit, and may utilize virtual Cognitive Behavioral Therapy sessions. REACT does not test investigatory medications. Participation in REACT is compensated and requires in-person visits. In total, participation can last 3-4 months

SENSE

The goal of SENSE is to validate an approach to more accurately track sleep in night shift workers that uses multiple devices. You will be asked to complete one 26-hour in-lab visit, an at-home equipment set-up appointment, an at-home equipment pick-up appointment, sleep diaries during the 4-week at-home portion of the study, and for select individuals, an interview at the conclusion of the study. In total, it is expected that your participation will last for six weeks. Participation in SENSE is compensated.

SAIL

The purpose of this research study is to test the implementation of a mobile app designed to improve sleep in night shift workers. SAIL does not test investigatory medications. Participation in SAIL is compensated and completed from the comfort of your own home (no in-person visits).

SUSTAIN

The goal of SUSTAIN is to evaluate the effectiveness of an investigatory medication, Solriamfetol, for treating excessive sleepiness associated with Shift Work Disorder (SWD). Participants will engage in a 12-week study where they will take Solriamfetol or a placebo before each night shift and complete daily electronic diaries to track their sleep, work schedules, and symptoms. Participation in SUSTAIN is compensated, requires in-person visits, and can be done while maintaining your regular work routine.

Insomnia

CELESTE

The Henry Ford Health Sleep Research Center is currently recruiting perimenopausal and early menopausal individuals experiencing insomnia for a compensated research study. This study will randomly assign participants to one of three established treatments—cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) or one of two FDA-approved medications. Participants will complete approximately five visits over the course of one year, some in our clinic and others virtually. During these visits, you will undergo health assessments, complete surveys and sleep diaries, and receive compensation for all completed visits. As a participant, you will also receive a Fitbit watch to help monitor your sleep patterns throughout the study. By joining the study, you can improve your sleep, gain greater awareness of your sleep patterns, and help advance treatment options for insomnia in this population.

If you are experiencing sleep difficulties and want to take an active role in improving your health and helping others, use this survey to learn more and see if you qualify to join this study!

Pregnancy, Stress and Sleep

STRIDE-P

This study, funded by National Institute of Mental Health, evaluates the real-world effectiveness and implementation of a mindfulness program (Perinatal Understanding of Mindful Awareness for Sleep- PUMAS) tailored to the pregnancy experience to improve maternal sleep, reduce stress, and foster the mother-child bond. STRIDE-P does not test investigatory medications. Participation in STRIDE-P is compensated and can be done from the comfort of your own home (no in-person visits).
