Description of intervention(s) / exposure
We planned to test 11 healthy men on 4 randomly assigned nights including two active nights and two control nights. There will be at least one week interval between any two nights. Overnight polysomnography will be recorded for all the 4 nights. In the two active nights, 30mg controlled-release oral morphine (MS Contin) will be given to each subject 4 hours before sleep. Upper airway resistance will be measured prior to the first active night sleep and prior to the matching control night sleep. Arousal and ventilatory response tests are not performed during the sleep of the first active night nor on the matching control night. During the second active night and its matching control night, arousal and ventilatory responses to hypoxia and hypercapnia during stage 2 sleep (stable sleep) would be tested.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 2000 0
Arousal and ventilatory responses to hypoxia and hypercapnia during sleep
Timepoint [1] 2000 0
The responses would be tested during the second active night and its matching control night. During the 2 nights, the responses would be tested once for hypoxia and once for hypercapnia during stage 2 sleep (stable sleep).
Secondary outcome [1] 3467 0
Sleep-disordered breathing and Upper airway resistance
Timepoint [1] 3467 0
Upper airway resistance would be tested just before bed time on the first active night and its matching control night.
Secondary outcome [2] 3468 0
Sleep-disordered breathing would be tested continuously throughout that two nights.
Timepoint [2] 3468 0
Monitored continuously throughout the 2 study nights
