About this trial
The goal of this study is to identify the effects of sleep regularity on cardiovascular regulatory mechanisms. The investigators are hoping to discover if improving the regularity of sleep timing will improve metabolic and vascular health markers. The protocol is a 12-week prospective cohort study that includes both field and in-laboratory data collection in ostensibly healthy male and female adults, aged 18-40years. We will also have a sub-group of individuals with chronic pain to examine the effects of sleep regularity on pain outcomes.
