How Sleep, Eating and Exercise Patterns Influence Heart Rate Variability in a Healthy Student Population

Participants must be 18 years old or older and enrolled at least part time in college. Data will be collected almost on a daily schedule between 10:00am and 11:00am in the KCC Physical Therapy Lab, Kokio 202C. The data collection will take ~60 minutes. The participant will be asked to refrain from drinking coffee or other caffeinated beverages and from eating and/or smoking at least 30 minutes prior to the recording period. Participants should wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing. All responses are confidential. This is a non-invasive study (i.e. we will not be drawing blood, giving shots or other procedures that enter the skin) that has gained University of Haswii-Institutional Review Board approval to insure participant safety (CHS #12075). All participants must sign an informed consent agreement to participate.
