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 Â鶹ֱ²¥ 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
