简要总结
This study is designed to assess how healthy premenopausal women respond to different patterns of sleep loss at different times in the menstrual cycle.
详细描述
During a 1.5-week inpatient laboratory protocol, participants will undergo one of two parallel sleep conditions during either the follicular or luteal phase of the menstrual cycle (4 study arms total). Subjects will be randomly assigned to each study arm. During their time in the laboratory, biological samples (e.g., blood) will be collected for assessment of sex steroid hormones and other analyses. Sleep quantity and quality will be monitored and responses on neurobehavioral tests and surveys will be monitored for differences across conditions.

研究组 & 干预措施
Chronic variable sleep deficiency - follicular phase
This will be the first of four arms of controlled sleep manipulation. Participants randomized to this arm will be studied on a chronic variable sleep deficiency schedule during the follicular phase of their menstrual cycle. The exact sleep schedule is not provided in order to keep participants blinded to sleep conditions.
干预措施: Controlled sleep (Behavioral)
Chronic variable sleep deficiency - luteal phase
This will be the second of four arms of controlled sleep manipulation. Participants randomized to this arm will be studied on a chronic variable sleep deficiency schedule during the luteal phase of their menstrual cycle. The exact sleep schedule is not provided in order to keep participants blinded to sleep conditions.
干预措施: Controlled sleep (Behavioral)
Control sleep - luteal phase
This will be the fourth of four arms of controlled sleep manipulation. Participants randomized to this arm will be studied on a control sleep schedule during the luteal phase of their menstrual cycle. The exact sleep schedule is not provided in order to keep participants blinded to sleep conditions.

Control sleep - follicular phase
This will be the third of four arms of controlled sleep manipulation.

结局指标
主要结局
P4/E2 ratio
时间窗: Biological samples will be collected at frequent intervals over 11 days in a sleep laboratory. Subjects will be in a time-free environment, and not told the sampling frequency.
The ratio of progesterone (P4) and estradiol (E2) in each sample will be calculated as (P4 ng/ml x 1000)/E2 pg/ml. A linear mixed model analysis will be conducted to compare the P4/E2 ratio at each time point (multiple points across the study) across all 4 study arms.
PVT mean reaction time
时间窗: The PVT will be administered at frequent intervals over 11 days in a sleep laboratory. Subjects will be in a time-free environment, and not told the sampling frequency.
The mean reaction time will be calculated across each Psychomotor Vigilance Task (PVT) session. A linear mixed model analysis will be conducted to compare PVT mean reaction time at each time point (multiple points across the study) across all 4 study arms.
PVT lapses in attention
时间窗: The PVT will be administered at frequent intervals over 11 days in a sleep laboratory. Subjects will be in a time-free environment, and not told the sampling frequency.
The number of lapses in attention will be counted across each Psychomotor Vigilance Task (PVT) session. A linear mixed model analysis will be conducted to compare PVT lapses in attention at each time point (multiple points across the study) across all 4 study arms.
Core body temperature
时间窗: Core body temperature will be collected at frequent intervals over 11 days in a sleep laboratory. Subjects will be in a time-free environment, and not told the sampling frequency.
Core body temperature is measured via rectal thermistor. A linear mixed model analysis will be conducted to compare the core body temperature at each time point (multiple points across the study) across all 4 study arms.
KSS score
时间窗: The KSS will be administered at frequent intervals over 11 days in a sleep laboratory. Subjects will be in a time-free environment, and not told the sampling frequency.
The Karolinska Sleepiness Score (KSS) measures level of sleepiness on a 9-point Likert scale with 1 = Extremely Alert and 9 = Extremely Sleepy. A linear mixed model analysis will be conducted to compare KSS score at each time point (multiple points across the study) across all 4 study arms.
