How reduced sleep affects blood sugar in healthy adults
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
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.
