A Week of Sleep Restriction Does Not Affect Nighttime Glucose Concentration in Healthy Adult Males When Slow-Wave Sleep Is Maintained
The aim of this laboratory-based study was to examine the effect of sleep restriction on glucose regulation during nighttime sleep. Healthy males were randomly assigned to one of two conditions: 9 h in bed (n = 23, age = 24.0 year) or 5 h in bed (n = 18, age = 21.9 year). Participants had a baseline...

Sumario: | The aim of this laboratory-based study was to examine the effect of sleep restriction on glucose regulation during nighttime sleep. Healthy males were randomly assigned to one of two conditions: 9 h in bed (n = 23, age = 24.0 year) or 5 h in bed (n = 18, age = 21.9 year). Participants had a baseline night with 9 h in bed (23:00–08:00 h), then seven nights of 9 h (23:00–08:00 h) or 5 h (03:00–08:00 h) in bed. Participants were mostly seated during the daytime but had three bouts of treadmill walking (4 km·h(−1) for 10 min) at ~14:40 h, ~17:40 h, and ~20:40 h each day. On the baseline night and night seven, glucose concentration in interstitial fluid was assessed by using continuous glucose monitors, and sleep was assessed by using polysomnography. On night seven, compared to the 9 h group, the 5 h group obtained less total sleep (292 min vs. 465 min) and less REM sleep (81 min vs. 118 min), but their slow-wave sleep did not differ (119 min vs. 120 min), and their glucose concentration during sleep did not differ (5.1 mmol·L(−1) vs. 5.1 mmol·L(−1)). These data indicate that sleep restriction does not cause elevated levels of circulating glucose during nighttime sleep when slow-wave sleep is maintained. In the future, it will be important to determine whether increased insulin is required to maintain circulating glucose at a normal level when sleep is restricted. |
