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.
