Summary

This trial will investigate if restricting eating hours can improve cardiovascular and metabolic health in people who don't get enough sleep.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 18-45 with a BMI of 25-35 who usually sleep less than 6.5 hours and eat over a span of more than 14 hours per day. They should not have chronic health issues like hypertension or diabetes, but those with prehypertension or prediabetes may join if they agree to use birth control (if applicable) and can follow the study's eating schedule.
What is being tested?
The study tests whether limiting eating to an 8-hour window each day can improve heart health and blood sugar levels in people who don't get much sleep. Participants will maintain their normal diet, sleep, and exercise routines while following this time-restricted eating plan.
What are the potential side effects?
Since the intervention involves dietary changes rather than medication, side effects might include hunger outside of the allowed eating times, potential changes in energy levels or mood swings due to alterations in usual meal patterns.
