Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Fully slept first; Sleep deprived second

Participants will be fully slept during the first experimental visit and sleep deprived during the second experimental visit

Behavioral: Sleep deprivation
Fully slept: Sleep habitual amount (i.e., go to sleep at habitual bedtime and wake up at habitual wake time) Sleep deprived: Reduce sleep by 50% (i.e., go to sleep at habitual bedtime and wake up early)

Experimental: Sleep deprived first; Fully slept second

Participants will be sleep deprived during the first experimental visit and fully slept during the second experimental visit

Behavioral: Sleep deprivation
Fully slept: Sleep habitual amount (i.e., go to sleep at habitual bedtime and wake up at habitual wake time) Sleep deprived: Reduce sleep by 50% (i.e., go to sleep at habitual bedtime and wake up early)

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Behavior an olfactory perceptual decision-making task [Up to 24 hours after the intervention]

    Food-like perceptual responses to binary food-nonfood odor mixtures

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging [Up to 24 hours after the intervention]

    Resting-state activity determined by functional magnetic resonance imaging
