In a clinical trial of the​ drug, amounts of sleep each night are measured before and after subjects have been treated with the drug.

Answer 1

Matched pairs design

Explanation:

A matched pair design can be used in a case where the same people are being measured in before-and-after comparison. The same set of people are measured for the amount of sleep each night before the administration of the drugs and after the drug administration and this is used to test for a difference.
