Insulin Resistance has been shown to put a person at risk for developing Type II diabetes. There is a correlation between sleep deprivation and insulin resistance.The study wants to assess the feasibility by enrolling 20 subjects in a year. The study also wants to assess the feasibility of the sleep extension intervention among young adults by examining the number of subjects that are randomized to intervention arm will complete the study.
Another intent of the study is to examine how sleep behaviors affect risks for developing type 2 diabetes and to determine their willingness to participate in a 4-week home-based program (intervention) focused on personal sleep behaviors.
Subjects enrolled in the study and are randomized to intervention group and control group. The intervention group will receive one education session consisting of strategies for sleep hygiene which is the routine for going to sleep and instructions on extending time in bed by at least one hour but can be up to 2 hours total per night for 4 weeks.
