About this study

The purpose of this study is to examine whether chronic moderate sleep restriction effects the amount of body fat and lean mass loss, and calorie expenditure, in individuals who are participating in a dietary weight loss program.

Read the detailed description

Participants will be randomly assigned to an 8-week program of either restricted diet alone, or restricted diet with restricted sleep for 5 days a week. The total expected duration of participation is approximately 3 months.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Calorie restriction onlyBehavioural

    Participants randomly assigned to this group will be instructed to reduce their daily energy intake to 95% of their resting metabolic rate.

  • Sleep & calorie restrictionBehavioural

    Participants randomly assigned to this group will be instructed to reduce their total time in bed by 90 minutes 5 days a week, in addition to restricting their dietary intake to approximately 95% of their resting metabolic rate.

Study groups in NCT02413866
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Calorie Restriction OnlyExperimentalParticipants in this group will be decreasing their caloric intake to approximately 95% of their resting metabolic rate. We will provide one meal for 4 days of the week, and participants will be required to keep an accurate dietary record of all food and drink. Participants assigned to this group will be instructed to keep a fixed sleep schedule based on their own sleep/napping habits.
Receives: Behavioral: Calorie restriction only
Sleep & Calorie RestrictionExperimentalParticipants in this group will decrease their caloric intake to approximately 95% of their resting metabolic rate in addition to reducing their total time in bed by 90 minutes 5 days a week.
Receives: Behavioral: Sleep & calorie restriction

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. body composition measured via DXA scans

    Body composition will be measured via DXA scans prior to intervention and post intervention to compare losses in lean body mass and fat mass.

    Measured: 4 months
