Adverse Effects of Two Nights of Sleep Restriction on the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal Axis in Healthy Men
Open accessAbstract
CONTEXT: Insufficient sleep is associated with increased cardiometabolic risk. Alterations in hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis may underlie this link. OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to examine the impact of restricted sleep on daytime profiles of ACTH and cortisol concentrations. METHODS: Thirteen subjects participated in 2 laboratory sessions (2 nights of 10 hours in bed versus 2 nights of 4 hours in bed) in a randomized crossover design. Sleep was polygraphically recorded. After the second night of each session, blood was sampled at 20-minute intervals from 9:00 am to midnight to measure ACTH and total cortisol. Saliva was collected every 20 minutes from 2:00 pm to midnight to measure free cortisol. Perceived stress, hunger, and appetite were assessed at hourly intervals by validated scales. RESULTS: Sleep restriction was associated with a 19% increase in overall ACTH levels (P < .03) that was correlated with the individual amount of sleep loss (rSp = 0.63, P < .02). Overall total cortisol levels were also elevated (+21%; P = .10). Pulse frequency was unchanged for both ACTH and cortisol. Morning levels of ACTH were higher after sleep restriction (P < .04) without concomitant elevation of cortisol. In contrast, evening ACTH levels were unchanged while total and free cortisol increased by, respectively, 30% (P < .03) and 200% (P < .04). Thus, the amplitude of the circadian cortisol decline was dampened by sleep restriction (-21%; P < .05). Sleep restriction was not associated with higher perceived stress but resulted in an increase in appetite that was correlated with the increase in total cortisol. CONCLUSION: The impact of sleep loss on hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal activity is dependent on time of day. Insufficient sleep dampens the circadian rhythm of cortisol, a major internal synchronizer of central and peripheral clocks.

Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
Two nights of sleep restriction to 4 hours in bed increased daytime HPA-axis activity in healthy young men, with higher overall ACTH and a trend toward higher total cortisol. The effect varied by time of day: morning ACTH rose without cortisol, while evening total and free cortisol rose without ACTH, dampening the circadian cortisol decline.
Key findings
- Sleep restriction increased overall daytime ACTH by 19% (P < .03) and total cortisol by 21% (P = .10); the ACTH increase correlated with the amount of sleep loss (rSp = 0.63, P < .02).
- Morning ACTH was 10% higher after sleep restriction (P < .04) without a significant morning cortisol elevation, whereas evening total cortisol increased by 30% (P < .03) and evening free cortisol by 200% (P < .04) without an evening ACTH increase.
- The circadian decline in total cortisol was dampened by 21% (P < .05); pulse frequency was unchanged for ACTH and cortisol, though ACTH pulse trough and peak values were higher (both P < .05).
- Perceived stress did not differ between conditions, but increased appetite correlated with increased total cortisol (rSp = 0.67, P < .04; hunger rSp = 0.60, P < .06).
Methods
- Thirteen healthy young men (median age 21 [20; 23] years; BMI 24.6 [21; 25] kg/m²) completed a randomized crossover study with two laboratory sessions: 2 nights of 10 hours in bed vs 2 nights of 4 hours in bed, spaced at least 6 weeks apart.
- After the second night of each session, blood was sampled every 20 minutes from 9:00 am to midnight for ACTH and total cortisol, and saliva every 20 minutes from 2:00 pm to midnight for free cortisol; participants received constant glucose infusion and remained recumbent.
- Analyses used Wilcoxon exact rank tests, mixed-effects ANOVA for serial hormone data, Spearman correlations, and the ULTRA algorithm for pulse detection.
Limitations
- The paper states: small sample size; only young men, so findings cannot be extrapolated to the general population; constant glucose infusion instead of meals does not mimic real-life conditions; and sleep restriction lasted only 2 nights, so results may not translate to chronic sleep debt.
- Evident from the text: the controlled laboratory setting and exclusion of women, smokers, and medicated individuals limit generalizability to everyday sleep restriction contexts.

Claims other papers make about this one
Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
The source backs part of the claim, not all of it — or backs it for a different population, condition or comparison.
In the citing paper
“Findings of elevated expression and release of CRH in sleep-deprived rodents [38][39][40] and of elevated baseline ACTH levels in sleep-deprived humans in the present and in a previous study 16 suggest that partial pituitary desensitization to CRH is likely the consequence of sustained elevated CRH release.”

Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe cited source says what the claim attributes to it.
In the citing paper
“a recent study in healthy humans reported elevated daytime ACTH levels following 2 nights of 4 hours in bed, therefore providing evidence for an up-regulation of the HPA axis during severe sleep loss in humans.16”

Each contradiction between two passages listed here was confirmed by an independent check.
Rated minor: it would not touch a result — a value no result rests on, a p-value that stays on the same side of the significance level, or a conflict that is clerical, resolved elsewhere in the paper, or outside its own findings.

§ Abstract
“correlated with the individual amount of sleep loss (rSp = 0.63, P < .02)”
§ Results
“The reduction in TST from the 10-hours-in-bed to the 4-hours-in-bed condition was correlated with the increase in the overall daytime levels of ACTH (rSp = 0.64, P < .02)”

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.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-09, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-09 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
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.
