To current participants: Thank you for agreeing to be in our study. We have dedicated this space to make participation as easy as possible while you are at home.

As a participant in the DISCO study, you will wear two sleep monitors while you are at home.

  • One is called the ‘Sleep Profiler,’ which you will wear for only one night. It is used to assess the sleep stages and sleep apnea, which is a sleep disorder related to breathing.

  • The second one is the Actiwatch, which you will wear for 7 full days and nights (you don’t take it off). It is used to assess amount of sleep and sleep quality from day to day.
