Sleep, blood sugar, and brain health for overweight adults
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how sleep quality affects blood sugar levels and brain function in people who are overweight or have obesity. If you join, you will wear monitoring devices that track your sleep and other body signals. The results may help doctors find better ways to support brain health and weight management.

This study looks at how type 2 diabetes affects blood flow in the brain and thinking ability. It compares people with diabetes to those without, and may help understand how to protect brain health.
This study tests whether a behavior-based sleep program can help teenagers aged 13–17 who are overweight or have obesity and also have sleep problems. The goal is to see if improving sleep can help with weight management.
