Normal Sleep (With 250 ug/m^3 PM2.5) Then Restricted Sleep (With 250 ug/m^3 PM2.5)
Participants will complete two sessions in the lab. During their first session, they will have a normal sleep opportunity the night prior to reporting to the lab for the simulated firefighting session (250 ug/m\^3 PM2.5 with moderate intensity exercise). Normal Sleep: Participants will be allowed \~8 hour sleep opportunity the night of sleep prior to reporting to lab for a simulated firefighting session. During their second session, participants will have a restricted sleep opportunity (\~4 hours) the night prior to reporting to the lab for the simulated firefighting session (250 ug/m\^3 PM2.5 with moderate intensity exercise). Sleep Restriction: Participants will be allowed \~4 hour sleep opportunity during the restricted night of sleep prior to reporting to lab for a simulated firefighting session.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: samples collected at baseline, immediately post exposure

Pentraxin-3 will be measured in EBC of participants at baseline (PRE) and after exercise (POST) on two trial days. One trial day will be after a normal night of sleep (Normal Sleep) and the other trial will be after sleep restriction to 4 hours (Restricted Sleep). The value is determined through ELISA method, represented in ng/mL, where higher levels indicate worse response.
