“…On the other hand, biological mechanisms linking long sleep duration to CKD are unknown and even remain elusive in CVD, warranting more attention. Unique to Jiang et al [14], daytime napping was found to offset the excess risk of CKD portended by short sleep duration. This parallels experimental work, which demonstrates that extreme nocturnal sleep restriction, when supplemented with daytime nap opportunity, does not increase urinary norepinephrine excretion compared to normal sleep opportunity [17].…”
