We are recruiting drivers with sleep apnoea for a research study

We are looking for drivers with treated obstructive sleep apnoea to take part in a driving simulator study.

What does it involve?

You’ll be asked to visit our driving simulator at the university to complete a driving task whilst we monitor your sleepiness. We will ask you to visit the simulator a total of 6 times and you will be asked to restrict your sleep before 5 of these visits.

During the visits you will be asked to take a short nap and drink a caffeinated drink so we can assess how effective they are at reducing sleepiness. Each visit will last ~2 hours, and you will be compensated for your time.

Who can take part?

In order to take part you must:

  • Have treated OSA
  • Be a regular driver with a full licence
  • Be over the age of 18
  • Live within ~40 minutes of º£½ÇÉçÇø University

This study is not suitable for:

  • People with a history of epilepsy
  • People who are intolerant to caffeine
  • People who are likely to experience motion sickness

To sign up, please or email Karl Miller.
