This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Sleep loss may increase the body s need for food (energy). The current study will look at how much more food (energy) your body needs when you stay awake all night. To do so, we will ask you to live in a special room for several days. This room allows us to measure how much oxygen your body uses and how much carbon dioxide your body produces. The findings from this study may improve our understanding of one of the reasons why we sleep and may improve our understanding of the influence of sleep loss on health.
