Cardiovascular Risk and Circadian Misalignment in Short Sleepers - Role of Extended Eating Period

Sponsor

Pennington Biomedical Research Center

Enrollment

100 participants

Start Date

Dec 5, 2023

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Sleep Deprivation

Summary

Short sleep duration confers high cardiovascular and metabolic risk, but lifestyle factors and molecular mechanisms that contribute to increased blood pressure and poor glucose control during short sleep are not completely understood. Habitual short sleepers are constantly eating, the proposed studies will evaluate if this behavior contributes to heightened cardiovascular and metabolic risk. The study will evaluate if restricted eating duration (8 hours/day) could improve cardiovascular and metabolic health in habitual short sleepers.
