Night Owl Sleep Study: The Effect of Sleep on Fecal Microbiota
This study, called the Night Owl Sleep Study, is looking at how changes in your sleep affect the bacteria in your gut (fecal microbiota). Researchers want to see if there are differences in these gut bacteria between people who get enough sleep and those who don't. You would either increase your sleep by 90 minutes or decrease it by 90 minutes for 14 days. The main goal is to understand how your gut bacteria respond to these sleep changes. This study is currently unclear about its recruitment status and is looking for men aged 20-50 and pre-menopausal women aged 20-45 who have a consistent daytime schedule and a BMI between 18.5 and 35.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study planning to enroll 174 participants. Participants will be assigned to one of two groups based on their current sleep habits.
- What's involved
- For 14 days, participants will either increase or decrease their nightly sleep by 90 minutes. The study will measure changes in fecal microbiota from Day 1 to Day 28.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- The primary endpoints are measured from Day 1 to Day 28.

What this trial measures
- Differences in the fecal microbiota of individuals with sufficient and insufficient sleep.From Day 1 to Day 28
Measure changes in microbial abundance and diversity from baseline to the end of the study in those individuals who have sufficient sleep compared to those with insufficient sleep. This is comparing the sufficient sleep group to the insufficient sleep group across all study periods.
- To evaluate the response of the microbiota to changes in participant sleep duration.From Day 1 to Day 28
Measure changes in gut microbiota within the individual during times of sufficient sleep compared to when they are getting insufficient sleep.This is measuring the change within individual participants before the intervention and after.
