Short sleep durations do not lead to increased insulin resistance, according to a study published in the Nov. 1 issue of SLEEP.
Marie-Pierre St-Onge, Ph.D., from St. Luke's/Roosevelt Hospital in New York City, and colleagues conducted a randomized crossover study in which 27 normal-weight 30- to 45-year-old adults who habitually slept seven to nine hours a night were studied under a short (four hours in bed) or habitual (nine hours in bed) sleep condition. For each four-day study period, a controlled diet was provided and fasting blood samples were obtained daily.
