Sleep “is the most
sedentary activity”
yet it protects us
from gaining weight!
Sleep Quality & Obesity

and should be thought of as a
‘vital sign’ of good health

“Ignorance is the worst Sleep
Disorder of them all”
Dr. William Dement in his book The Promise of Sleep
Dr. Dement was among the first to draw
attention to the fact that
sleep
is as
important ,
if not more so
, than diet and

•
One of the most important functions of sleep is
the re-organization of neural networks in the
brain. A body with a sleep deprived brain starts to
malfunction presenting with
:
•
Problems with heat or cold regulation
•
Decline in immune function
•
An increase in cortisol, catecholamine's, and other stress
hormones.
•
Increased levels of inflammatory hormones such as
interleukin and C-reactive protein
•
Imbalances in appetite and blood sugar regulation
hormones.

What happens if you do not get
•
Not getting quality sleep can cause hormonal
imbalance and inflammation as the
Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal axis need’s
quality sleep to re-balance after wake during the
day.
•
During quality sleep there is an increase in
growth hormone and testosterone, the two crucial
muscle repairing hormones.
–
This is why your body takes longer time to repair and
recovery from physical exercise if you are not getting
quality sleep.

What happens if you do not get
Quality Sleep ?
•
Sleep is a
behavioral state
that is a natural part of life,
we should spend about one-third of our life sleeping.
•
Sleep is a
required activity
and is important for a
healthy life. The National Sleep Foundation
recommends 7-9 hours of sleep every 24 hours for
individuals age 24-64 years old.
(6)•
How much sleep is needed depends on:
–
Individual sensitivity to sleep loss
(7,8)–
Daily activities and exercise
–
Sleep Quality
–
Age
Sleep Loss – Sleep Deprivation
•
Behavioral Sleep Deprivation (BSD)
Ø
Cultural, 24/7 lifestyle
Ø
Circadian rhythm disorders
•
Pathological Sleep Deprivation
Ø
Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Ø
Restless Legs Syndrome
Ø
Insomnia
²
Pain syndromes
Sleep duration Obesity
Ø
Worldwide
obesity
prevalence has
doubled
since 1980
(9)Ø
This is
paralleled
by
reduced sleep
duration
(10)Ø
In 1998
35%
American adults got 8 hours of sleep
(11,12)Ø
In 2005
26%
American adults got 8 hours of sleep
(11,12)Ø
In 1998 obesity prevalence in USA was
18%
(11,12)Ø
Control of sleep/wake cycles and feeding is by:
Ø
Hypothalamic-pituitary-Adrenal axis
Ø
Autonomic nervous system
Ø
Good Quality Sleep
generally
(13,14)Ø
decreases sympathetic activity
Ø
increases parasympathetic activity
Ø
Poor Quality Sleep
generally
(13,14)Ø
increases sympathetic activity
Ø
decreases parasympathetic activity

Regulation of feeding
Sleep / Wake cycles
Quality Sleep & Endocrine Organs
Ø
Endocrine organs are sensitive to changes in
the autonomic nervous system
Ø
Increased secretion of inflammatory biomarkers
Ø
Changes in hormonal secretion
Sleep deprivation
Inflammatory biomarkers
Ø
Increase in inflammatory biomarkers contributes
to Metabolic Syndrome
(15,16,17)Ø
Increases IL-6 during the day, causing
somnolence and fatigue
(18)Ø
Causes shift of IL-6 and TNF from nighttime to
daytime combined with hyper secretion of
cortisol, causing fatigue and difficulty in falling
asleep
(20,21)Sleep Deprivation
Changes in Hormonal balance
Ø
Insulin
Ø Sleep deprivation leads to changes in circadian rhythm of insulin secretion. Increased sympathetic activity affects insulin secretion and promotes insulin resistance (22,23)
Ø
Cortisol
Ø Sleep deprivation leads to increased levels (cortisol release is inhibited during good sleep) likely to promote
development of insulin resistance (24)
Ø
Growth Hormones
Ø During sleep deprivation tissues are exposed to high levels for an extended period of time and GH anti-insulin effects promote development of insulin resistance (25,26)
Sleep Deprivation
Changes in Hormonal balance
Ø
Leptin
Ø Hormone released by fat cells dependent on sleep duration and decreased by sleep deprivation, signals release of fat reserves and the thyroid to upregulate thyroid function.
Ø Increases energy expenditure and signals satiety to the brain
Ø Decreases with sleep deprivation lowering the metabolic rate and will likely lead to increased calorie intake(27,28)
Ø
Ghrelin
Ø Secreted by the stomach, stimulates appetite and is elevated by sleep deprivation causing hunger and increased calorie intake(27,28)
Ø
Thyroid Hormone
Ø Decreased levels caused by sleep deprivation, lowers the basal metabolic rate (5)
Sleep Deprivation
Chronic Diseases
Ø
Obesity
(30,31)Ø
Diabetes
Ø
Heart diseases, high blood pressure and stroke
Ø
Alzheimer
Ø
Decreased mental performance and higher risk of
depression
The Sleep Deprived Brain
Ø
The tired brain
craves things to wake it up
Ø
Coffee
Ø

Ø
FOOD
spurs some less-than ideal food
choices, including larger food portions and
craving for junk food
(32)Sleep Deprivation & Obesity
Ø
Obesity is an important risk factor in the
pathogenesis of various diseases
(33,34)Ø
Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Ø
Diabetes mellitus 2
Sleep Deprivation & Obesity
Ø
Higher BMI is associated with compromised sleep
quality
(35)Ø
Obesity is associated with sleep disturbances that
may predispose to accumulate sleep debt
(36)Ø
This may contribute to
Ø
Increased appetite and more time to eat
Ø
Limit drive for physical activity
Ø
Changes in hormonal secretion influencing
Sleep Duration and Risk of Obesity
Ø
Interpersonal differences exist in the sensitivity
to sleep loss
(37)Ø
U-shaped relationship with BMI, both short
sleepers (<6 hrs) and long sleepers (>9 hrs)
are more likely to be obese
(37)Ø
Stronger correlation between sleep duration and
obesity risk has been found in younger cohorts,
suggesting that age-related factors other than
sleep disturbances may play a more important
role in the development of obesity later in life
Sleep Duration and Risk of Obesity
Ø
Significant association between short sleep
(<6 hrs) and increased obesity risk
(40,41,42,43)Ø
6% increase in the probability of obesity with
less that 7 hours slept
(44)Ø
Study of 1597 individuals showed that every
additional hour of sleep (6<x>9hrs)
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)
Obesity
Ø
Estimated prevalence of OSA in US adult
population
(43,44,45)Ø
Men 24%-58% (severe obesity 93%)
(45)Ø
Women 9%-37% (severe obesity 73%)
(45)Symptomatic OSA present in 4% of middle age men
and 2% of women
(46)Ø
Obesity is a risk factor for OSA
Ø
About 70% of those with OSA are obese
(45)Ø
Losing weight improves OSA
(45)Ø
OSA recurred in 50% after 4 years, regardless of
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)
Obesity
Ø
OSA itself may cause weight gain
(49)Ø
Frequent micro/macro arousals in OSA lead to
repeated surges in
sympathetic nervous system
activity
and changes in hormonal control
(50,51,52)Ø
Patients with OSA have reduced slow wave sleep
(SWS). Shown to lead to increased appetite for
high caloric /carbohydrate dense food
(53)Sleep Deprivation
Slow Wave Sleep (SWS)
Ø
Suppression of SWS led to reduced insulin
sensitivity and higher likelihood of developing
diabetes 2 and obesity
(54)Ø
Subjects with diabetes 2 had shorter SWS
duration and higher arousal indices
(55,56)Ø
Many patients with diabetes 2 suffer from OSA.
Of interest is the strong link between OSA,
obesity and diabetes 2
(57,58)Sleep deprivation- Prevention
Child Obesity
Ø
Children with shorter sleep duration are at higher
risk for obesity than children with longer sleep
durations
(59,60)Ø
This risk is reduced by 9% for each additional
hour of sleep
Obese Children
OSA
Ø
Obese children with OSA, compared with other
obese children
Ø
Eat
2.2x
more fast food and less healthy food
Ø
4.2x
less likely to be involved in organized
sports
Ø
OSA severity is positively correlated with plasma

What we need to better understand
the relationship between Sleep
Deprivation and Obesity
Ø
Reviewing of the medical literature addresses the
limitation of the literature we have today and
highlights the importance of the need to perform:
Ø
Well designed, controlled, large scale studies
Ø
Long follow-up time
Ø
These studies need to assess sleep duration
Let’s be open minded and have the
courage to throw out yesterdays ideas
when they do not appear to be working
and find ways to solve this problem
