In unadjusted models, leptin was significantly correlated with total sleep time and average weekly sleep with naps, and ghrelin was significantly correlated with sleep efficiency and WASO.

Similarly, diabetes or the combination of diabetes and obesity have been variably associated with elevated IOP and glaucoma [ 46 52 58 59 60 61 62 ] .
