Night shift workers and their blood vessel & sugar health
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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 ways to help your body’s internal clock stay in sync when your sleep timing is off. It’s looking for healthy adults with fairly regular sleep and certain lifestyle and location history.
This study tests whether changing your sleep habits can improve heart-related health and blood sugar control. You may be asked to follow a sleep schedule and other routines, and outcomes will be measured over time.
This study tests if aerobic exercise can help night-shift workers adjust their body clock. You would need to follow a structured exercise and sleep schedule to see if exercise reduces the negative health effects of working overnight.
This study looks at how shift work affects blood sugar and fat levels in hospital employees. It compares people who work night shifts with those who don't, to see if shift work changes these health markers.
This study tests whether adjusting when you eat (time-restricted eating) can improve health in night shift workers. You would use a smartphone app to track your meals and follow a set eating schedule for up to a year.
This trial studies how losing sleep and disrupting your internal body clock may cause insulin resistance, a condition linked to diabetes. You will stay in a lab for several days to test your body's response to sleep changes and a morning drug called octreotide. The goal is to understand why shift work and jet lag can lead to health problems.
