Interoception and Sleep: An exploratory study to evaluate relationship between interoception and sleep quality

Thepresent study aims:

1. To study therelationship between sleep variables and interoceptive neural correlates usingdozee sleep quality algorithm.

2. To study thebiological and behavioural correlates of stress with subjective and objectivesleep variables

This is a single-armprospective study that assess introceptive awareness and concurrent sleep datafrom Dozee and the polysomnography system. It is an observational study that isconducted with healthy volunteers and not intended for diagnostic orinterventional purposes.

Dozee devicedeveloped by Turtle Shell Technologies Pvt. Ltd., is intended for contactlesscontinuous monitoring of vital parameters (HR and RR), and screening forabnormal changes in these parameters. The device uses the concept ofballistocardiography and deploys piezoelectric sensors to capture themicro-vibrations originating from cardiac contractions, upper respiratory tractactivity and body movements. This data is then analyzed by a proprietaryalgorithm and the values of the vital parameters are generated. The device isintended to be used to monitor individuals/patients greater than eighteen yearsof age (40 kg ≤ weight ≤ 120 kg) and can measure their vital signsduring sleep and resting state. The setup includes placing a sensor under themattress, and a bedside unit on a nearby flat surface. The other components ofthe setup are Power cords and Power adapter. Thus, a power outlet withsufficient plug sockets near the bed will be required.
