TL;DR: A sleep duration of 6 hours or less or 9 hours or more is associated with increased prevalence of DM and IGT, and voluntary sleep restriction may contribute to the large public health burden of DM.

TL;DR: Usual sleep duration above or below the median of 7 to less than 8 hours per night is associated with an increased prevalence of hypertension, particularly at the extreme of less than 6 hours perNight.

TL;DR: This study assessed the extent to which sleep-disordered breathing, difficulty initiating and maintaining sleep (DIMS), and excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) were associated with impairment of quality of life (QoL) using the SF-36 to suggest mild to moderate SDB is associated with reduced vitality, while severeSDB is more broadly associated with poorer QoL.

TL;DR: In this paper, the extent to which sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), difficulty initiating and maintaining sleep (DIMS), and excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) were associated with impairment of quality of life (QoL) using the SF-36.

TL;DR: Ass associations with cardiovascular disease risk biomarkers provide evidence that MVPA may be the most potent health-enhancing, time-dependent behavior, with additional benefit conferred from light-intensity activities and sleep duration when reallocated from sedentary time.
