Ethical Considerations in Sleep Deprivation Research

A researcher is conducting a study on the effects of sleep deprivation on cognitive performance in college students. To investigate this, they plan to randomly assign participants to a control group that will get a full night's sleep and an experimental group that will be kept awake for 24 hours. After this period, the cognitive performance of participants will be measured using standardized tests.

The Institutional Review Board (IRB) has expressed concerns over the ethical implications of this study, particularly in terms of informed consent, potential harm, and the use of deception. Discuss the ethical considerations involved in this study. Identify at least three specific ethical principles that must be addressed and evaluate how the researcher can modify the study design to adhere to these principles while still achieving valid results.
