Sleep deprivation is a major problem in military populations. Some major consequences of sleep loss are inability to concentrate, poor work efficiency, and increase in errors during daily tasks. There is some evidence that ketone ester supplements may lessen the adverse effects of sleep restriction. The main purpose of these supplements is to raise your blood concentration of ketones, which are safe, small molecules that appear in the blood during fasting, when following a ketogenic diet, or consuming ketone supplements. The main purpose of this study is to examine if ingesting a ketone ester supplement, twice daily, can improve cognitive and physical performance during short-term sleep restriction.
