Cardiometabolic Risk of Shiftwork

Terminated
Conditions
Circadian Dysregulation
Shift-Work Sleep Disorder
Sleep Deprivation
Interventions
Behavioral: sleep extension & circadian alignment
Registration Number
NCT01264913
Lead Sponsor
University of Chicago
Brief Summary

The overall goal of the present application is to test the hypothesis that shift workers, who are chronically exposed to circadian misalignment and sleep loss, have a higher cardio-metabolic risk than day workers, and that the accumulated sleep debt and the degree of circadian misalignment both predict their elevated cardio-metabolic risk.
