10 Laboratory studies demonstrate that the hormonal and cognitive effects of sleep restriction lead to increased appetite, decreased satiety, and impaired insulin sensitivity. Obesity and metabolic perturbations, such as type II diabetes, are intricately linked in their dual pathophysiology to CVD. Epidemiological studies show an increased risk of obesity, diabetes, and all-cause mortality in people who report either short (9 hours/night) sleep duration 7–9. Sleep, along with diet and exercise, is a cornerstone of health. Recent studies have begun to clarify the mechanisms underlying the associations between sleep and CVD. Sleep is a key health behavior that is known to impact numerous CVD risk factors. Health risk behaviors, such as smoking, excess alcohol, and physical inactivity, and protective health behaviors, such as healthy diet and exercise, have long been identified as CVD risk factors in longitudinal studies.4 Indeed, each are listed by the CDC on their list of Heart Disease Behaviors.5 Individual health behaviors contribute to the metabolic perturbations of obesity, dyslipidemia, and type II diabetes, further exacerbating CVD risk4,6. Health behaviors are a key intervention target for primary care physicians and public health organizations because they allow for CVD risk modification.
