Inclusion Criteria:
* Age 21-45 yrs
* Employed as a healthcare worker in either dayshift (N=15) or nightshift work (N=30).
* Nightshift is defined as 12 months of consecutive nightshift work, who had 10 or more nightshifts per month (6 h between 10 PM and 8 AM, with no shift duration \> 12 h).
* Dayshift is defined as 12 months of consecutive dayshift work, who had 10 or more dayshifts per month (6h between 8 AM and 10 PM, with no shift duration \> 12 h).
* Weight Stable (+/- 3 kg over past 6 months)
* BMI between 18.5-29.9 kg/m2
* Understands the procedures and agrees to participate by giving written informed consent
* Willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, laboratory tests, and other study procedures including
* Only low to moderate caffeine users (\<500 mg/day, or up to approximately 5 cups \[1 cup=8 ounces\] of coffee/day.
Exclusion criteria:
* Acute or chronic medical conditions or medication that would contraindicate participation in the research testing or could potentially affect metabolic function including, but not limited to:
* History or presence of cardiovascular disease (unstable angina, myocardial infarction or coronary revascularization within 6 months, presence of cardiac pacemaker, implanted cardiac defibrillator)
* Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes mellitus
* Obesity (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2)
* Bleeding and clotting disorders
* Uncontrolled hypertension (BP \>160 mmHg systolic or \>100 mmHg diastolic)
* Acute or chronic infections (such as TB, HIV, or Hepatiti…
What they're measuring
