Summary

Short sleep duration has been associated with increased risk of weight gain and development of non-communicable diseases. Sleep deprivation studies have suggested the link between restricted sleep and risk of adiposity and cardiometabolic dysregulation may be causal. However, the severity and acuteness of sleep restriction schedules in laboratory-based studies could hinder the ecological validity of the findings. The pragmatic way forward is to assess how improved sleep in habitually short sleepers impacts the aforementioned outcomes. This study assesses the feasibility of lengthening sleep in short sleepers, as well as how improved sleep duration and/or quality impact metabolic health, body composition, energy balance and cardiovascular risk.
