Summary

This study looks at how not getting enough sleep and having a messed-up body clock can make it harder for your body to use insulin properly, which can lead to weight gain and type 2 diabetes. Researchers will test 24 healthy adults aged 18-45 in a controlled lab setting to see how stress hormones like cortisol play a role. The goal is to better understand these links so we can find ways to help people who don't get enough sleep, like shift workers.
