Trial summary

Fifty healthy, young participants (10 male, 40 female) completed two 3-hour study sessions that were at least five days apart. The first session was a baseline. The sleep intervention took place on the night prior to Session 2, where the amount of time in bed was manipulated to be 60-130% of the individual's habitual… Read more about this study

About this study

Fifty healthy, young participants (10 male, 40 female) completed two 3-hour study sessions that were at least five days apart. The first session was a baseline. The sleep intervention took place on the night prior to Session 2, where the amount of time in bed was manipulated to be 60-130% of the individual's habitual sleep time. Within both sessions, subjective (Stanford Sleepiness Scale, SSS) and objective (Psychomotor Vigilance Test, PVT) alertness were measured. During the middle of each session, a 40-minute ad libitum meal opportunity allowed participants to eat from eight different food items. Food healthfulness, caloric density, distribution and number of calories were measured and compared to alertness levels.

What participants receive

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

  • Time in bedBehavioural

    Habitual time spent in bed for the purpose of sleep was determined at baseline. This was used to calculated the experimental time in bed the subject was to spent on the one night prior to the second lab visit.

What is being measured

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

  1. Total calories consumed

    Total calories consumed during a 45 minute meal opportunity during the each of the two study sessions.

    Measured: 45 minutes

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Alertness

    Objective alertness was determined during each of the two study sessions during a 15 minute test of sustained attention (Psychomotor Vigilance Task).

    Measured: 15 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Time in bed in people with Sleep Deprivation and Feeding Behavior, run by Stanford University.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Jun 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Total calories consumed (time frame: 45 minutes). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02484846, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 Jun 2015.
