NCT ID NCT04868539
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether being exposed to artificial light at night, along with not getting enough sleep, harms how the body handles blood sugar more than just lack of sleep alone. Fourteen healthy adults stayed in a lab for over a month while their sleep and light exposure were controlled. The goal was to understand how these factors might affect insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance.
