Interventions
DEVICE

Acoustic Stimulation (STIM)

During the in-lab overnight, a headband device will be used to administer acoustic stimulation. Tones will be played during slow-wave sleep to enhance underlying slow-wave activity (0.5 - 4 Hz delta spectral power).

DEVICE

No Acoustic Stimulation (SHAM)

During the in-lab overnight, the participant will wear a headband device, but the device will not administer acoustic stimulation. The device will be on and will still monitor sleep, but will not play tones.

DEVICE

Daily acoustic stimulation (STIM2)

During the \~2 weeks at home, a headband device will be used to administer acoustic stimulation. Tones will be played during slow-wave sleep to enhance underlying slow-wave activity (0.5 - 4 Hz delta spectral power).

DEVICE

No daily acoustic stimulation (SHAM2)

During the \~2 weeks at home, the participant will wear a headband device, but the device will not administer acoustic stimulation. The device will be on and will still monitor sleep, but will not play tones.
