Importance Short sleep duration has been recognized as a risk factor for obesity. Whether
extending sleep duration may mitigate this risk remains unknown. Objective To determine …

Background Evidence suggests that short sleep duration may be a newly identified
modifiable risk factor for obesity, yet there is a paucity of studies to investigate this. Objective …

Short sleep duration appears to be a novel and independent risk factor for obesity. With the
growing prevalence of chronic sleep restriction, any causal association between reduced …

Objective Previous research suggests that sleep duration is associated with obesity and
weight gain. However, the majority of these studies are of cross-sectional design, with only a …

Background: Evidence suggests a relation between short sleep duration and obesity.
Objective: We assessed energy balance during periods of short and habitual sleep in …

Background The prevalence of chronic sleep deprivation is increasing in modern societies
with negative health consequences. Recently, an association between short sleep and …

Recent epidemiological and ecological trends in humans indicate a possible causal
relationship between sleep duration and energy balance. We aimed to find experimental …

Background: Acute partial sleep deprivation increases plasma concentrations of ghrelin and
decreases those of leptin. Objective: The objective was to observe modifications in energy …

Short sleep duration has been associated with obesity in numerous epidemiological studies.
However, such association studies cannot establish evidence of causality. Clinical …

Objective: To verify whether sleep quantity and quality at baseline predict the magnitude of
fat loss in adults subjected to moderate caloric restriction. Methods: A total of 123 overweight …
