Interventions

  • Sleep Extension Intervention — BEHAVIORAL
    Sleep extension-based intervention focused on increasing time spent in bed by 2 hours per night by directly scheduling assigned bed and waketimes based on participant's individual schedules. Participants will receive weekly sleep tips and counseling on improving their sleep duration.

Study Details

The overall goal is to determine how a sleep extension intervention (increasing time in bed) in individuals who maintain less than 6.5 hours sleep per night affects their plasma ceramides and insulin sensitivity. Participants will undergo a randomized controlled trial, with sleep extension (intervention) and healthy lifestyle (control) groups. The sleep extension is designed to increase participant's time in bed by 2 hours per night. Alternatively, the control group will receive basic health information (e.g., physical activity, goal setting, and nutrition when eating out).
