More Sleep: Pain Response to Longer Sleep
June 19, 2024 updated by: Anne-Marie Chang, Penn State University
Can More Sleep Improve Pain Responses, Symptomatology, and Regulation in College Students?
This study is being done to find out whether extending sleep for at least an hour per night, seven days a week, predicts a higher tolerance and a higher threshold for pain.
This is a 21-day study.
Participants will be asked to wear sleep- and heart- monitoring watches.
Pressure pain and cold pain will be measured at study visits.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Change in pressure pain threshold from before to after sleep extension
Time Frame: Momentary at study visit 2 (at the end of week1) and a week later at study visit 3 (at the end of week2).
|
Bilateral response to a clinically standard algometer at 3 different physical palpation sites.
A higher pressure reading indicates a better pain response.
|
Momentary at study visit 2 (at the end of week1) and a week later at study visit 3 (at the end of week2).
|
Change in pressure pain tolerance from before to after sleep extension
Time Frame: Momentary at study visit 2 (at the end of week1) and a week later at study visit 3 (at the end of week2).
|
Bilateral response to a clinically standard algometer at 3 different physical palpation sites.
A higher pressure reading indicates a better pain response.
|
Momentary at study visit 2 (at the end of week1) and a week later at study visit 3 (at the end of week2).
|
Change in weekly average of momentary pain self-reports from before to after sleep extension
Time Frame: (averaged) Daily surveys during study week 1 (pre-intervention) and study week 2 (intervention)
|
Intermittent pain intensity using a Visual Analog Scale (0-100, where 0 = "no pain", 100 = "worst pain imaginable in current circumstances").
Higher values indicated more pain, and a negative change indicates a decrease in pain.
|
(averaged) Daily surveys during study week 1 (pre-intervention) and study week 2 (intervention)
|
Change in thermal pain threshold from before to after sleep extension
Time Frame: Momentary at study visit 2 (at the end of week1) and a week later at study visit 3 (at the end of week2).
|
Latency to respond to a bilateral cold pressor test (feet).
A longer latency to threshold indicates better pain response.
|
Momentary at study visit 2 (at the end of week1) and a week later at study visit 3 (at the end of week2).
|
Change in thermal pain tolerance from before to after sleep extension
Time Frame: Momentary at study visit 2 (at the end of week1) and a week later at study visit 3 (at the end of week2).
|
Latency to respond to a bilateral cold pressor test (feet).
A longer latency to tolerance indicates better pain response.
|
Momentary at study visit 2 (at the end of week1) and a week later at study visit 3 (at the end of week2).
|
Change in pain inhibition from before to after sleep extension
Time Frame: Momentary at study visit 2 (at the end of week1) and a week later at study visit 3 (at the end of week2).
|
Pain inhibition is measured as the difference in pressure pain threshold from before to after cold pressor procedure.
A reduction in pressure pain threshold is typical after cold pressor procedure.
A greater reduction in pain threshold indicates a better response of the pain inhibitory system.
|
Momentary at study visit 2 (at the end of week1) and a week later at study visit 3 (at the end of week2).
