Abstract

Sleep restriction resulted in a significant increase in subjective hunger on a 100 mm scale, with a mean difference of 13.4.

  • Participants consumed 252.8 more kcal/d under sleep restriction compared to normal sleep.
  • Partial sleep restriction was associated with a weight gain of 0.34 kg.
  • Insulin sensitivity decreased significantly with sleep restriction.
  • Changes in brain activity related to food stimuli were observed under sleep restriction, particularly in areas linked to cognitive control and reward.
  • No strong evidence was found for significant impacts of sleep restriction on mean leptin or ghrelin levels or energy expenditure.
