Abstract

Objectives This study examines the effects of sleep restricted to 4h for three consecutive nights on blood parameters known to be associated with cardiovascular risk in healthy postmenopausal women.Material and methods Ten healthy postmenopausal women aged 55-65 years treated with hormonal replacement therapy (HT) were included in the study. After one baseline night, three nights of sleep restricted to 4h were performed and were followed by one recovery night of 8h. Blood samplings were performed after the baseline night and after the third night of sleep restriction.Results A significant increase in white blood cells (WBC), monocytes, neutrophils, total cholesterol, and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c) was observed after the third night of sleep restriction.Conclusion Sleep restriction to 4h of sleep for three consecutive nights affected two factors associated with cardiovascular risk in healthy postmenopausal women treated with HT.

  • The effect of sleep restriction on triglycerides has only been experimentally examined in women.

    “To date, the effect of sleep restriction on triglycerides has only been experimentally examined in women, with no significant change found following three nights of 4 h time in bed (TIB) [25].”

  • Recognition and response take place during the early immediate pro-inflammatory phase that is supported by actions of the stress axes, such as priming of immune cells and inflammation, and mobilization of energy substrates to fuel the immune system.

    “Recognition and response take place during the early immediate pro-inflammatory phase that is supported by actions of the stress axes, such as priming of immune cells and inflammation, and mobilization of energy substrates to fuel the immune system (86, 288, 528).”

  • Total sleep deprivation of more than 24 hours or partial deprivation of 3-4 hours in bed each night for 1-3 days showed no significant change in morning cortisol levels after sleep deprivation.

    “Total sleep deprivation of more than 24 hours [79–81] or partial deprivation of 3–4 hours in bed each night for 1–3 days [34, 44, 82] showed no significant change in morning cortisol levels after sleep deprivation.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
