Circadian misalignment and metabolism in men and women
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how the timing of sleep and daily activities affects men and women differently. It may help understand why men and women have different risks for metabolic problems like diabetes.

This study looks at how reducing sleep affects the body's handling of sugar (glucose) differently in men and women. Participants will stay in a sleep lab for 5 days on two separate occasions to measure these effects.
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 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.
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 whether changing when you eat can reduce the chance of developing diabetes. You’d need to be generally healthy and meet specific lifestyle and body-size requirements.
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.
