Sleep Restriction and the Adolescent Diet: Impact and Mechanisms
Description: PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Obesity prevention efforts for adolescents are exceptionally important yet especially difficult. This study will use experimental methods to test whether getting less sleep causes adolescents to consume more calories and the mechanisms by which it might do so. Sleep restriction is common during adolescence, so findings could have major implications for improving obesity prevention efforts and could also advance our understanding of how behaviors and biology interact to affect adolescents' eating patterns.
