Summary
This study will look at how getting only 3 hours of sleep (instead of 8) affects blood sugar, blood vessel stiffness, and thinking skills in healthy adults aged 20-45. Researchers will also test if regular exercise can help protect against these negative effects. The goal is to better understand the short-term health risks of sleep loss.
