“…However, in general, the weight gain shown is small or modest and the clinical value of this is therefore questionable. In addition, none of the three longitudinal studies [50,68,69••] using objective measures to assess sleep duration, published to date, has shown a relation between sleep and obesity or weight gain. In addition, a systematic review by Patel et al states that although short sleep duration appears to be independently associated with weight gain, major study design limitations preclude definitive conclusions [77].…”

“…Three of the studies show a negative linear relationship [50,54,56], one shows a U-shaped relationship (however, non-significant after adjusting also for sleep fragmentation) [55], and four studies show no association [31,[51][52][53] between sleep duration and measures of obesity (Table 1). Table 2 shows an overview of the prospective studies on sleep duration and obesity.…”

“…Nonetheless, eight of the cross-sectional studies of sleep duration have objectively measured sleep [31,[50][51][52][53][54][55][56] using either actigraphy [50,52,53,55,56] or one night polysomnography (PSG) [31,51,54]. Three of the studies show a negative linear relationship [50,54,56], one shows a U-shaped relationship (however, non-significant after adjusting also for sleep fragmentation) [55], and four studies show no association [31,[51][52][53] between sleep duration and measures of obesity (Table 1).…”

Collectively, cross-sectional and longitudinal studies on self-reported sleep duration and obesity do not show a clear pattern of association with some showing a negative linear relationship, some showing a U-shaped relationship, and some showing no relationship. Associations between sleep duration and obesity seem stronger in younger adults. Cross-sectional studies using objectively measured sleep duration (actigraphy or polysomnography (PSG)) also show this mixed pattern whereas all longitudinal studies to date using actigraphy or PSG have failed to show a relationship with obesity/weight gain. It is still too early and a too easy solution to suggest that changing the sleep duration will cure the obesity epidemic. Given novel results on emotional stress and poor sleep as mediating factors in the relationship between sleep duration and obesity, detection and management of these should become the target of future clinical efforts as well as future research.

“…7,25,26 By contrast, others have found no such association. 27,28 The differences between the results of the studies might be due to the number of participants involved (studies failing to show any association tended to have smaller numbers). That is, it is possible that Type-2 errors were present in smaller studies, and that they were under-powered with regard to demonstrating the relationship between BMI and sleep hygiene.…”

Objective Vagus nerve functioning, as indexed by high-frequency heart rate variability (HF-HRV), has been implicated in a wide range of mental and physical health conditions, including sleep complaints. This study aimed to test associations between HF-HRV measured during sleep (sleep HF-HRV) and subjective sleep complaints 4 years later. Methods One hundred forty-three healthy employees (91% male; MAge = 47.8 years [time 2], SD = 8.3 years) of an industrial company in Southern Germany completed the Jenkins Sleep Problems Scale, participated in a voluntary health assessment, and were given a 24-hour ambulatory heart rate recording device in 2007. Employees returned for a health assessment and completed the Jenkins Sleep Problems Scale 4 years later. Results Hierarchical regression analyses showed that lower sleep HF-HRV measured in 2007 was associated with higher self-reported sleep complaints 4 years later after controlling for covariates (r ab,c = −0.096, b = −0.108, 95% CI, −0.298 to 0.081, ΔR 2 = 0.009, p = .050). Conclusions These data are the first to show that lower sleep HF-HRV predicted worse sleep 4 years later, highlighting the importance of vagus nerve functioning in adaptability and health.
