NCT ID NCT05920759
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how a night of restricted sleep changes blood flow to the brain in healthy adults. Sixteen men and women had their brain blood flow measured after normal sleep and after limited sleep. Researchers wanted to see if the effect was stronger in men. The goal was to better understand how sleep loss might affect brain health differently by sex.
