A single night of moderate at-home sleep restriction increases hunger and food intake in overweight young adults.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Experimental studies under laboratory conditions have shown a close link between acute sleep restriction and metabolic disorders. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of a single night of moderate sleep restriction implemented under ambulatory settings on sleep organization, food intake, blood pressure, and heart rate in overweight young adults.

Methods

In a non-randomized experimental study, we evaluated 15 young, overweight adults (mean age [± SEM] 20.8 ± 0.6 y) with a mean body mass index (BMI) 27.5 ± 6.2 kg/m² (BMI range 18.9-36.6 kg/m²). Each participant was recorded at home during two successive nights under: 1) Regular sleep routine (from 2330 to 0730 h, 'night1') and 2) Restricted sleep (6 h in bed, from 0300 to 0900 h, "nig
