Summary
More than 70% of visitors to high altitude suffer poor sleep. The present study seeks to
answer the question: Which medication is associated with better sleep at high altitude:
temazepam or acetazolamide? The investigators hypothesis is that one medication will be
associated with higher subjective sleep scores than the other. The study will compare the
sleep quality of 100 subjects as they take either temazepam or acetazolamide during a visit
to high altitude.
