Summary

The study aims to examine the effects of a sleep extension intervention on the metabolic and cardio-vascular profile of obese people who present traditional diabetes risk factors, and who are habitually sleep deprived. Participants randomized to the intervention arm will complete a 6-week sleep extension intervention, whilst the control group will maintain their habitual sleep schedule. It is hypothesized that the sleep extension intervention will significantly increase total sleep time, and will be accompanied by significant metabolic-related changes.

Conditions

  • Short Sleep

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Sleep extension

The sleep extension programme was designed around four alternative assumptions: 1) that among this group of habitual short sleepers, extending time in bed (TIB) would represent a significant behavioral change to established night-time and daytime routines; 2) that for practical purposes (accommodating personal, family and work schedules) extended time in bed is best anchored against typical rise-times; 3) that sleep onset may represent a particular challenge for those advancing habitual bed-times by over 1 hour each night; and 4) that in consenting to the trial, participants were motivated to make and sustain behavioral change.
