Do you have Fibromyalgia or chronic widespread pain?

In this remote study, we are exploring how non-drug treatment approaches related to a person's sleep schedule, such as morning light therapy and assigned sleep schedules, might affect their chronic pain experience. (IRBMED: HUM00240590)

What is involved?
Participation will be fully remote and take place over the course of 5 months involving:

• Wearing a Fitbit for 5 weeks
• Completing 8 virtual visits via Zoom, each visit lasting between 30mins - 2hrs
• 4 weeks where you may be asked to follow a sleep schedule or do a 1 hour light treatment each morning at home

No drugs involved, no blood draws.

Participants will be compensated up to $700 upon completion of study tasks.

The Better Sleep for Bipolar Study seeks to learn more about the effects of supplemental melatonin use on mood and the circadian clock in people with bipolar disorder. Many people with bipolar disorder are also “night owls” who have late bedtimes and late wake times. This mismatch between a person’s “brain clock” and the actual clock time can cause sleep problems and is associated with worse depression symptoms in bipolar disorder. The study seeks to test whether low dose melatonin plus a behavioral sleep intervention commonly used to treat night owls will help shift the brain clock earlier and improve mood and sleep in bipolar disorder.

Recruiting individuals who are night owls with bipolar disorder whose sleep schedule may impact their life. The study is primarily virtual with only 2 visits to our Lab located at the Rachel Upjohn Building in Ann Arbor and hotel accommodations may be provided. Compensation is provided for completing study activities.
