THE METABOLIC COST OF EXTENDED WAKEFULNESS

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。列出的机构是 中心，不一定是研究者的机构。 睡眠不足可能会增加身体对食物（能量）的需求。 目前的研究将着眼于当你整夜保持清醒时，你的身体需要多少食物（能量）。 为此，我们将要求您在一个特殊的房间住几天。 这个房间可以让我们测量你的身体消耗了多少氧气，产生了多少二氧化碳。这项研究的发现可能会提高我们对睡眠原因之一的理解，并可能提高我们对睡眠不足对健康影响的理解。

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.
