Developing preliminary blood metabolomics-based biomarkers of insufficient sleep in humans.

ABSTRACT:

Study objective

Identify small molecule biomarkers of insufficient sleep using untargeted plasma metabolomics in humans undergoing experimental insufficient sleep.

Methods

We conducted a crossover laboratory study where 16 normal-weight participants (eight men; age 22 ± 5 years; body mass index < 25 kg/m2) completed three baseline days (9 hours sleep opportunity per night) followed by 5-day insufficient (5 hours sleep opportunity per night) and adequate (9 hours sleep opportunity per night) sleep conditions. Energy balanced diets were provided during baseline, with ad libitum energy intake provided during the insufficient and adequate sleep conditions. Untargeted plasma metabolomics analyses were performed using blood samples collected every 4 hours across the final 24 hours
