The purpose of this study is to evaluate how sleep loss affects your ability to think and how it 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.

• Aged 18-35

Study visits include:

• Consent appointment at the Sleep Laboratory
