Study how sleep affects metabolism in healthy adults
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial studies how changes in sleep and the body’s daily rhythm may affect metabolism (how your body handles energy and sugar). It is for generally healthy, medication-free young adults who follow a controlled diet and sleep schedule.

This study looks at how lack of sleep affects blood sugar (glucose) in healthy men and women. You would stay in a lab overnight for two separate 5-day periods so researchers can compare your body's response to normal sleep and shortened sleep.
This study looks at how eating at night affects your sleep and body clock. You will spend two nights in a sleep lab to test the effects of a small meal before bed.
This study looks at how missing a night of sleep affects your body's health, like your heart and metabolism. By joining, you'll help researchers understand the immediate effects of sleep loss, which might lead to better advice for people who don't get enough sleep.
This study looks at what happens to heart-related health and body metabolism when your sleep goes through ups and downs (yo-yo sleep). You may be asked about your sleep habits and health history to see whether your body changes in response to different sleep patterns.
This study tests whether changing the time window when you eat can improve heart health for people who naturally sleep 6.5 hours or less per night. You'll be asked to follow either a longer or shorter daily eating period while researchers measure blood pressure and other heart disease risk factors.
This study tests if a special nutritional supplement (ketones) can help your body stay resilient when you don't get enough sleep. If you join, you'll follow a specific diet and have your sleep and health monitored for about 9 weeks.
