New treatment option for Circadian Rhythm Sleep Disorder of Shift Work Type
Official title Countermeasures to Circadian Misalignment
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT04966351
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- Insufficient sleep and circadian misalignment are independent risk factors for the development of obesity and diabetes, yet few strategies exist to counter metabolic impairments when these behaviors are unavoidable. This project will examine whether avoiding food intake during the biological night can mitigate the impact of circadian misalignment on metabolic homeostasis in adults during simulated night shift work.
