Non-invasive Vagus Nerve Stimulation and Sleep in Healthy Volunteers.

Participants will be chosen at random to receive a 30-minute stimulation of a specialized nerve (called a vagus nerve). The aim of this study is to determine whether a battery-operated portable device (current adjustable) attached to the outer ears (tragus) makes one more likely to improve on their sleep and quality of daily life. Participants will visit the lab on 2 occasions (one with a stimulating device and one without), 3 weeks apart for detailed instruction on setting up the ear stimulation and sleep kit in their home. Researchers will compare the sleep results from a PSG sleep device from the 2 sessions to determine the effect, if any on sleep.
