Abstract

Abstract: Introduction: Insufficient sleep and poor sleep quality have been associated with impaired glucose metabolism at fasting and under experimental conditions. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) measures glucose concentrations over an extended, free-living period that can be used to assess glycemic health. Relationships between CGM-assessed glucose concentrations and glycemic variability, an emerging glycemic health marker, with sleep metrics have yet to be elucidated. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between sleep metrics with glucose concentrations and glycemic variability in non-diabetic adults. Methods: Twenty-four non-diabetic adults (age=46.0±5.8 years; BMI=32.2±5.7 kg/m 2 ) completed actigraphy, sleep diary, and CGM over 7 consecutive days. Time-in-bed (TIB), total sleep time (TST), wake duration after sleep onset, and sleep efficiency [(TST÷TIB)×100%] were determined using actigraphy assisted with sleep diary input. Nightly variability of each sleep metric was calculated as standard deviation (SD) across all nights. Glucose concentrations at waking in the morning, and 1, 2, and 3 hours prior to waking, and diurnal, nocturnal, and 24-hour means were determined. Intra-day glycemic variability, including mean amplitude of glycemic excursions and continuous overlapping of net glycemic action of 1, 2, and 4 hours, and inter-day glycemic variability, mean of daily differences, were calculated. Pearson product correlations between sleep metrics with glucose concentrations and glycemic variability were performed. Results: Average TIB and TST were 462.6±61.7 minutes and 403.3±59.7 minutes, respectively. TIB negatively correlated with glucose concentrations at 2 and 3 hours prior to waking (r=-0.42, p=0.04 and r=-0.42, p=0.04, respectively). Nightly variability in sleep efficiency positively correlated with waking, and 1, 2, and 3 hours prior to waking glucose concentrations (0.44≤r≤0.48, p≤0.03 for all). No sleep metrics correlated with glycemic variability measures (p≥0.10 for all). Conclusion: Findings suggest a longer amount of sleep opportunity and more consistent sleep efficiency relate to better glucose metabolism in non-diabetic adults.
