Brief Summary:
This study is designed to determine the impact of extending sleep duration on glucose metabolism in people with obesity. Half of the participants will be instructed to increase their time-in-bed in order to achieve \>7h sleep/night (sleep extension; n=15) while the other half will be be instructed to maintain their current sleep habits (n=15).
Detailed Description:
Restricting sleep is known to be detrimental to glucose metabolism in healthy adults. Obesity is a condition associated with both lower sleep duration and poor glucose tolerance. Therefore, increasing sleep duration is a potentially novel therapeutic strategy for improving glucose metabolism in this population. The investigators will assess this by determining insulin sensitivity during a hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp before and after a sleep intervention in both the control and sleep extension groups.
