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?

You can register for the study through the link below. If you meet the requirements and we have a participation spot, we will contact you.

Deep Sleep Technologies is conducting a sleep laboratory study investigating wearable sound stimulation during sleep. Participants will spend two non-consecutive nights at the University of Amsterdam Sleep Lab, where sleep will be measured using gold standard polysomnography together with an additional wearable sleep technology.

By combining established sleep measurement methods with innovative sleep technology, this research aims to advance our understanding of how sound stimulation interacts with the sleeping brain and contributes to the development of future sleep solutions.

We are currently seeking healthy sleepers between the ages of 18 and 30 to participate. Upon completion of both overnight sessions, you will receive €70 as compensation for your particpation.

If you are curious about sleep science and would like to contribute to the development of future sleep technologies, complete the screening survey below to see whether you qualify.

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.
