Summary

The aim of this study is to examine the neurobehavioural and glucose metabolic responses to two successive cycles of sleep restriction and recovery in adolescents, and to determine the benefits of napping on cognitive performance, alertness, mood and glucose metabolism. Using a split-sleep design, 60 participants, aged 15 to 19 years old, are divided into a nap and a no-nap group. Both groups undergo two cycles of sleep restriction and recovery over a period of 15 days. The no-nap group receives a 6.5-hour sleep opportunity on sleep restriction nights, with no daytime nap opportunity. The nap group receives a 5-hour sleep opportunity on sleep restriction nights, and has a 1.5-hour nap opportunity the following afternoon.
