“…3 (Upper), the ivGTT revealed 40% lower glucose clearance, a 25-30% reduction in glucose effectiveness and in insulin sensitivity, and a disposition index 40% lower in the sleep-restricted than in the sleep-extension condition (49,67). Findings of decreased insulin sensitivity without adequate compensation by increased insulin release have been replicated in other studies of sleep restriction (55,68). In the initial "sleep debt study," postbreakfast homeostatic model assessment values (a marker of insulin resistance) increased 56% in the sleep-debt condition compared with sleep extension, owing to elevated glucose levels in response to breakfast despite the fact that insulin levels also tended to be higher.…”

Rates of obesity have been steadily increasing, along with disorders commonly associated with obesity, such as cardiovascular disease and type II diabetes. Simultaneously, average sleep times have progressively decreased. Recently, evidence from both laboratory and epidemiologic studies has suggested that insufficient sleep may stimulate overeating and thus play a role in the current epidemic of obesity and diabetes. In the human sleep laboratory it is now possible to carefully control sleep behavior and study the link between sleep duration and alterations in circulating hormones involved in feeding behavior, glucose metabolism, hunger, and appetite. This article focuses on the methodologies used in experimental protocols that have examined modifications produced by sleep restriction (or extension) compared with normal sleep. The findings provide evidence that sleep restriction does indeed impair glucose metabolism and alters the cross-talk between the periphery and the brain, favoring excessive food intake. A better understanding of the adverse effects of sleep restriction on the CNS control of hunger and appetite may have important implications for public health.

“…Differences between white/European American (hereafter, white) and black/African American (hereafter, black) participants were a focus, due to established differences in cardiovascular disease risk factors such as diabetes and hypertension, 18 which may be affected by poor sleep. 17,19–22 Our hypotheses were that we would find differences between groups in: (1) sleep-related complaints, (2) sleep hygiene practices, and (3) beliefs consistent with sleep being a priority and important for health.…”

Explore how social factors influence sleep, especially sleep-related beliefs and behaviors. Sleep complaints, sleep hygiene behaviors, and beliefs about sleep were studied in 65 black/African American and white/European American women. Differences were found for snoring and discrepancy between sleep duration and need. Sleep behaviors differed across groups for napping, methods for coping with sleep difficulties, and nonsleep behaviors in bed. Beliefs also distinguished groups, with differences in motivation for sleep and beliefs about sleep being important for health and functioning. These findings have important public health implications in terms of developing effective sleep education interventions that include consideration of cultural aspects.

“…Light to moderate drinkers are at lower risk of coronary heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and gallstone disease than non-drinkers, while an increasing intake increases the risks of dementia, liver cirrhosis, pancreatitis, osteoporosis, and most cancers, including cancer of the oesophagus, breast, pancreas, colon, and rectum (Grönbaeck, 2009). Finally, both short and long sleep durations appear to be related to increased likelihood of obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease (Buxton and Marcelli, 2010;Sabanayagam and Shankar, 2010).…”

Non-monotonic health behaviours – implications for individual health-related behaviour in a demand-for-health framework

A number of behaviours influence health in a non-monotonic way. Physical activity and alcohol consumption, for instance, may be beneficial to one's health in moderate but detrimental in large quantities. We develop a demand-for-health framework that incorporates the feature of a physiologically optimal level. An individual may still choose a physiologically non-optimal level, because of the trade-off in his or her preferences for health versus other utility-affecting commodities. However, any deviation from the physiologically optimal level will be punished with respect to health. A set of steady-state comparative statics is derived regarding the effects on the demand for health and health-related behaviour, indicating that individuals will react differently to exogenous changes, depending on the amount of the health-related behaviour they demand. We also show (a) that a steady-state equilibrium is a saddle-point and (b) that the physiologically optimal level may be a steady-state equilibrium for the individual. Our analysis suggests that general public-health policies may, to some extent, be counterproductive due to the responses induced in parts of the population.
