Mignot and colleagues plan to test this in intervention studies where they make people sleep more and measure the effects on body mass.
In this study of 1,024 participants in the population-based Wisconsin Sleep Cohort Study [7], Mignot and colleagues found that in persons sleeping less than 8 hours, increased BMI was proportional to decreased sleep [3].
The mechanism linking short sleep with weight gain is unknown, but Mignot and colleagues' study in this month's PLoS Medicine [3] adds to the growing evidence implicating leptin and ghrelin, the two key opposing hormones involved in appetite regulation.
For their study, Mignot and colleagues measured sleep duration (habitual and immediately prior to blood sampling), BMI, and pre-breakfast blood hormone levels in 1,024 participants.
Intrigued by the connection between sleep and BMI, and by recent studies showing that sleep deprivation in laboratory settings can cause a decrease in serum levels of leptin, a hormone known to control appetite, Emmanuel Mignot and colleagues set out to study the levels of various hormones known to regulate appetite and energy expenditure under “real life” conditions.
