Summary

This project is designed to test for the first time whether glucose metabolism is differentially impaired by sleep restriction with and without additional exposure to artificial light at night (ALAN).

Conditions

  • Glucose Intolerance
  • Sleep Deprivation
  • Sleep

Interventions

OTHER

Sleep Restriction with ALAN first, then Sleep Restriction without ALAN

Sleep restriction with 90 lux lighting for 19hr/day first, followed by Sleep restriction with 90 lux lighting for 14hr/day
