How does it work?

Sign-up

Join us by completing a brief survey about your sleep habits! This initial screening helps us identify which studies you may be eligible for.

Intake

When a new study opens, we’ll contact individuals who meet the initial criteria. If you’re a match, we’ll schedule an intake online or in our labs.

Sleep Research

The study officially begins now! You’ll be supported and monitored throughout. If anything comes up, don’t hesitate to reach out—we’re here to help.

Insights

After the study, you'll receive a detailed sleep report. Some studies may also offer financial compensation, depending on their nature.

How can you participate?

Deep Sleep Technologies is recruiting participants for a new laboratory study investigating how targeted acoustic stimulation delivered through wearable technology influences brain activity during sleep.

Participants will spend two non-consecutive nights at the Sleep Lab, University of Amsterdam, where sound stimulation will be delivered through a wearable device while brain activity and sleep are recorded using gold-standard high-density electroencephalography (EEG).

By combining wearable technology with advanced sleep measurements, this research aims to better understand the effects of acoustic stimulation on the sleeping brain and evaluate wearable sleep technology against established laboratory methods.

We are currently looking for healthy sleepers aged 18–35 to take part. Participants who complete both overnight sessions will receive €150 in compensation.

Frequently asked questions

How often can I participate?

You’re welcome to participate as many times as you like! However, you can’t join the same project more than once. Some projects include different types of trials, so to make sure you don’t miss out on any opportunities, we recommend signing up as a DeepSleep Pioneer. We keep track of which projects you’ve already taken part in and will notify you when a new trial is a match!

Are there any side effects from the stimulation?

Nope! The stimulation we use is completely non-invasive and has no known side effects. All the equipment used in our experiments is designed with safety and comfort in mind. If you ever experience any unusual or lasting effects after participating, please contact the researcher involved in your study and your GP right away.

What if I can’t fall asleep?

It happens — and it’s totally okay! If you find that you’re unable to fall asleep during a study, you’re free to stop the session at any time. If your sleep troubles are caused by specific circumstances (like stress, personal issues, or technical problems), we’ll be happy to invite you back to try again another time, if you’d like.

How is the compensation determined?

Compensation depends on the number of nights you’re asked to sleep for a given trial. If you’re traveling from farther away, feel free to reach out to us about possible travel reimbursements. Not every trial includes compensation or travel coverage, so if you’re unsure, just ask!

Do you have questions?

If you have any questions about the study or are simply curious about sleep research in general, don’t hesitate to reach out: we’re happy to help!

You can send your questions or requests to the email address below. When you do, please mention that you’re contacting us regarding the sleep study.

If you’d rather speak directly with one of the researchers involved in a specific study, feel free to leave your contact details: we’ll get in touch with you as soon as possible.
