Summary

This study looks at how a person's natural sleep pattern (chronotype) affects their body's ability to handle sugar. Researchers will compare blood sugar and insulin responses in 70 overweight young adults (ages 18-23) who are either night owls or early birds. Participants will take glucose tests and eat meals at times that match or clash with their internal body clock. The goal is to understand why night owls may have higher risk for prediabetes, not to test a new treatment.
