Abstract

Objective and background We and others have reported that experimentally induced short sleep does not affect resting metabolic rate and leads to increased laboratory-measured 24-h energy expenditure. Here, we aimed to determine if sleep timing and/or quality are related to physical activity (PA) levels.Methods Measures of PA via waist actigraphy, sleep diary, and sleep quality questionnaires were collected over a 7-18-day period in 22 adults (mean age ± standard deviation (SD): 35.8 ± 4.6 years, and mean body mass index ± SD: 23.8 ± 1.1 kg/m(2)) who were on their habitual sleep-wake and activity schedules.Results During the recording period, mean (±SD) bedtime and wake times were 00:17 ± 1:07 h (range: 22:02-02:07 h) and 08:20 ± 1:14 h (range: 06:30-10:11 h), respectively. After controlling for sleep duration, later bedtime, wake time, and midpoint of sleep were associated with less time spent in moderate-to-vigorous PA (p = 0.013, p = 0.005, and p = 0.007, respectively), and increased time in sedentary PA (p = 0.016, p = 0.013, and p = 0.013, respectively).Conclusions Current results suggest that even relatively small alterations in sleep timing may influence PA. However, causality cannot be inferred from this cross-sectional study. Clinical intervention studies should be conducted to assess the relationship between sleep timing and energy balance.

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.
