Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The changes in cognitive performance induced by hyperthermia are also poorly characterised and often not dissociated from the effects of dehydration. Little is known about the effects of the combination of sleep debt and heat exposure on mental performance. Describing and understanding the alterations induced by this combined situation could provide a better understanding of the mechanisms explaining the deterioration of performance in hot conditions and promote the development of appropriate countermeasures.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Normal sleep first
The night before the first heat exposure, the participants will have a normal night at home.
The night before the second heat exposure, the participants sleep will be restricted to 3 hours in bed.
Sleep recording (at home)
Before both heat exposures, the sleep-wake rhythm will be measured at home for 7 days using actigraphy and a sleep diary that will have been given to him/her during the inclusion visit.
Heat exposure
The subjects will be exposed twice (2 different visits) to heat (45°C; 60-70% humidity rate) for 3 hours in a climate chamber.
The subjects will be "equipped" with various external sensors allowing the continuous recording of core temperature, mean skin temperature (9 skin measurement points), heart rate, cerebral electrical activity, cerebral oxygenation, skin vascular conductance (blood flow by laser-doppler), blood pressure and skin conductance.
Neurophysiological and cognitive exploration (NPCE) includes the Stroop test, the Psychomotor Vigilance Task (PVT) and the odd-ball test.
Normal sleep
The night before one of the two heat exposures (first visit for the "Normal sleep first" group and second visit for the "Reduced sleep first" group), the participants will have a normal night at home. The duration and quality of sleep will be measured using a connected headband (Dreem®) allowing for polysomnography.
Sleep restriction
The night before one of the two heat exposures (first visit for the "Reduced sleep first" group and second visit for the "Normal sleep first" group), the participants' sleep will be restricted. The sleep restriction will correspond to a reduced sleep period with a bedtime of 3 hours (04:00 - 07:00). This night of sleep restriction will be carried out in a sleep apartment (at the lab). The duration and quality of sleep will be measured using a connected headband (Dreem®) allowing for polysomnography.
Reduced sleep first
