Summary
The purpose of this study is to study the effect of two standard of care sedative medications
on sleep stages and total sleep time. The investigators hypothesize that the α2 agonist,
dexmedetomidine, will improve sleep quality by increasing N2 and N3 sleep as well as total
sleep time when compared to GABA agonists.
