Heart health and eating patterns in short sleepers
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests if getting more sleep (7+ hours) can lower certain fats in the blood called ceramides, which are linked to heart disease risk. It's for overweight adults who currently sleep less than 6.5 hours a night.
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 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 long you sleep and your sleep patterns relate to cardiovascular (heart and blood vessel) health. You may be asked to complete health and sleep questionnaires and possibly follow a study sleep plan.
This trial studies how sleep patterns affect blood vessel health and sugar control in long-term night shift workers. It may help find better ways to prevent heart problems and diabetes.
This study tests how a daily product affects sleep, digestion, and overall health in people who naturally sleep only 4 to 5.5 hours a night but feel fine. Participation involves tracking your sleep and habits for a few weeks, with two in-person visits.
