Interventions

  • Circadian Intervention — BEHAVIORAL
    The circadian intervention group will receive counseling and instruction to reduce evening and nighttime light exposure, increase morning room light and sunlight exposure, and to finish all food consumption at least 4 hours before bedtime.

Study Details

The overall goal is to examine the efficacy of a circadian intervention in people with overweight and obesity and habitual short sleep duration (HSSD). Participants will undergo a randomized controlled trial, with circadian intervention and control (healthy lifestyle) groups. The circadian intervention is designed to reduce nighttime light exposure and after-dinner snack food intake. Alternatively, the control group will receive basic health information (e.g., physical activity, goal setting, and nutrition when eating out).
