Are you aged 18-35 and healthy?
Join our research study on sleep, performance and gut health.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate how sleep loss affects your ability to think and changes the helpful bacteria living in your gut. We are also testing how a prebiotic diet alters how you and the bacteria living in your gut respond to sleep loss and being awake at night. This research will help us to create treatments and strategies for people working long hours under stressful conditions at night.
You may be eligible for this study if you:
- Are a healthy male or female
- Aged 18-35
Study visits include:
- Consent appointment at the Sleep Laboratory
- Medical screening appointment at Boulder’s CTRC
- An actiwatch appointment at the Sleep Laboratory
- 2 application appointments of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) sensors
- 2 out-patient food pickups in Aurora, CO
- 2 laboratory visits spanning 3.7 days each, with 17 days in-between visits at the University of Colorado-Boulder Sleep and Chronobiology Laboratory
Main procedures involved:
- Consumption of prebiotic and placebo supplement
- Sleep loss
- Blood draws
- Computer testing
- Biological specimen sampling
Compensation is up to $1,780.

Mission Statement
Research Interests: 1)Health and safety consequences of sleep and circadian disruption. 2)Influence of sleep and circadian rhythms on human physiology (neuroendocrine, metabolic and immune function) and behavior (sleepiness, memory, learning, mood, cognitive and motor performance) with application to public health and safety. 3)Countermeasures to improve sleep, wakefulness, and health.
Description
Current Research Projects
- Impact of sleep and circadian disruption on the human microbiome and related changes in human physiology and cognition.
- Biomarkers for insufficient sleep and circadian rhythm disruption (metabolomics and proteomics).
- Tissue specific alterations in response to insufficient sleep and circadian misalignment.
- Influence of sleep loss, sleep inertia and circadian disruption on cognitive function.
- Countermeasures to improve sleep and wakefulness.
- Physiological and behavioral mechanisms by which insufficient sleep and circadian misalignment contributes to metabolic dysregulation.
- Countermeasures to improve cardiometabolic health during insufficient sleep.
- Student-athlete sleep, health and performance.
