The way that you respond to sleep loss may be different depending on the phase of your menstrual cycle. We are studying how chronic sleep loss effects how you feel and perform on tests during different times in your menstrual cycle. This study involves up to a 3-week screening process prior to an 11 day inpatient stay at Brigham and Women's Hospital. During the 3-week screening process, you will keep a consistent 8-h sleep schedule, including wearing an activity monitor and completing daily sleep logs and call-ins. The inpatient period of the study will consist of 11 days of living in our lab. If you would like to learn more, please download our study description below! We will be studying women who are: • Ages 18-35 years old • Not using hormonal contraceptives or hormone therapy • Healthy (no medical, psychiatric, or sleep disorders) • Non-smokers • Not shift workers Participants can receive up to $5,000. If you would like to participate, please complete the survey below. Thank you!

Text messages by mobile/cell phones are a common form of communication. This research study involves sending you text messages that are relevant to the research study. Texting over mobile/cell phones carries security risks because text messages to mobile/cell phones are not encrypted. This means that information you send or receive by text message could be intercepted or viewed by an unintended recipient, or by your mobile/cell phone provider or carrier.
Below are some important points about texting in this research study.
• Text messages are not encrypted, and therefore carry security risks. This research study and Mass General Brigham are not responsible for any interception of messages sent through unencrypted text message communications.
• You will be responsible for all fees charged by your carrier's service plan for text messaging. This research study and Mass General Brigham are not responsible for any increased charges, data usage against plan limits or changes to data fees from the research texts (Include language if participants are paid/given stipends to cover potential charges).
• Text messages will only be read during regular business hours. Texts sent on nights or weekends will not be read until the next business day.
• Text messaging should not be used in case of an emergency. If you experience a medical emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest hospital emergency department.
• You may decide to not send or receive text messages with staff associated with this research study at any time. You can do this in person or by sending the research number a text message that says "Stop Research Text."
• Your agreement applies to this research study only. Agreeing to other texts from Mass General Brigham, for example appointment reminders, is a separate process. Opting out of other texts from Mass General Brigham is a separate process as well.
• It is your responsibility to update your mobile/cell phone number with this research study in the event of a change.
I have been informed of the risks and other information covered above and consent to the use of unencrypted text communications associated with this research study.
