Short sleep duration increases energy intakes but does not change energy expenditure in normal-weight individuals

TL;DR: The data show that a reduction in sleep increases energy and fat intakes, which may explain the associations observed between sleep and obesity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Short sleep duration, glucose dysregulation and hormonal regulation of appetite in men and women.

TL;DR: The data suggest that, in the context of negative energy balance, short sleep does not lead to a state of increased insulin resistance, but may predispose to overeating via separate mechanisms in men and women.
Journal ArticleDOI

Alterations in sleep architecture in response to experimental sleep curtailment are associated with signs of positive energy balance

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that changes in sleep architecture are associated with markers of positive energy balance and indicate a means by which exposure to short sleep duration and/or an altered sleep architecture profile may lead to excess weight gain over time.
