Summary
Research has shown a link between poor sleep health and late circadian timing with cardiometabolic health in adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in T1D, which begins as early as adolescence, and current therapies are limited. Therefore, this study plans to investigate whether cardiometabolic health can be improved with increased sleep duration and advanced circadian timing in adolescents with T1D with habitually insufficient sleep. To answer this question, investigators will study adolescents with T1D who get \<7h sleep on school nights and measure changes in insulin sensitivity, glycemic control, and vascular function after one month of a sleep and circadian intervention (1+ hour longer time in bed each night plus evening melatonin and morning light therapy) compared to one month of typical sleep (usual school schedule).
