Night Owl Metabolism Study
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study from Johns Hopkins looks at how your body's metabolism works when you're an overweight teen or young adult who sleeps enough. It aims to learn more about your 'night owl' internal clock and how it affects your health.
