Summary
This study placed 15 healthy adults in a cave for 40 days with no clocks or sunlight to see how their bodies and minds adapt. Researchers measured changes in sleep, stress, thinking, and how the group worked together. The goal was to understand how extreme isolation and lack of time cues affect us, not to test a treatment.
