Abstract

Significance: Disruption of the timing of the sleep–wake cycle and circadian rhythms, such as occurs during jet lag and shift work, leads to disordered physiological rhythms, but to what extent the molecular elements of circadian rhythm generation are affected is not known. Here, we show that delaying sleep by 4 h for 3 consecutive days leads to a sixfold reduction of circadian transcripts in the human blood transcriptome to just 1%, whereas, at the same time, the centrally driven circadian rhythm of melatonin is not affected. Genes and processes affected included those at the core of circadian rhythm generation and gene expression. The data have implications for understanding the negative health outcomes of disruption of the sleep–wake cycle.

  • Sleep restriction changes the circadian rhythm of genes associated with immune and inflammatory responses, and these perturbances in rhythmicity are likely to be associated with health problems related to sleep disturbances.

    “In addition, sleep restriction has been found to change the circadian rhythm of genes associated with immune and inflammatory responses; these perturbances in rhythmicity are likely to be also associated with health problems related to sleep disturbances (15, 387)”

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.
