In a recent research proposal, a psychologist aims to study the effects of sleep deprivation on cognitive performance among high school students. To do this, the researcher plans to randomly assign participants to either a sleep deprivation group, where they will be kept awake for 24 hours, or a control group, where they will maintain their normal sleep schedule.

While this study could contribute to our understanding of cognitive functioning related to sleep, there are significant ethical considerations involved in conducting this type of research.

Discuss the ethical implications of conducting this study, including potential risks to participants, informed consent, and the necessity of an Institutional Review Board (IRB) review. Additionally, explain how the researcher can mitigate ethical concerns associated with this study.
