This project investigated the effects of repeated cycles of short sleep duration on vascular functioning and levels of inflammatory and adhesion molecules in peripheral circulation in healthy participants in order to determine if sleep is essential for homeostasis of multiple host defense mechanisms...

The goal of this study is to test the hypothesis that repeated exposure to cycles of insufficient sleep increases susceptibility to a variety of disease states by progressively compromising the integrity of stress response systems. We will test whether the hypothalamic-pituitary, sympatho-adrenal...
