Role of sleep and circadian disruption on energy expenditure and in metabolic predisposition to human obesity and metabolic disease
How Sleep and Body Clock Problems Are Linked to Energy Use and Risk of Obesity and Metabolic Disease
AI simplified
Abstract
Sleep disruption and circadian misalignment are associated with poor metabolic health.
- Millions of individuals do not get enough sleep, which may negatively affect their metabolic function.
- Shift work and social activities occurring at non-ideal times could lead to excess caloric intake.
- Food consumption during misaligned biological times may hinder effective energy metabolism.
- Incorrect timing of wakefulness and sleep could decrease overall energy expenditure.
- Disrupted glucose metabolism may occur in response to short sleep and circadian misalignment.
- Disturbed sleep and circadian rhythms are considered modifiable risk factors for metabolic disease.
