Sleep duration and mortality - Does weekend sleep matter?

ABSTRACT: Previous studies have found a U-shaped relationship between mortality and (weekday) sleep duration. We here address the association of both weekday and weekend sleep duration with overall mortality. A cohort of 43,880 subjects was followed for 13 years through record-linkages. Cox proportional hazards regression models with attained age as time-scale were fitted to estimate multivariable-adjusted hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals for mortality; stratified analyses on age (<65 years, ≥65 years) were conducted. Among individuals <65 years old, short sleep (≤5 hr) during weekends at baseline was associated with a 52% higher mortality rate (hazard ratios 1.52; 95% confidence intervals 1.15-2.02) compared with the reference group (7 hr), while no association was observed for long (≥9 hr) weekend sleep. When, instead, different combinations of weekday and weekend sleep durations were analysed, we observed a detrimental association with consistently sleeping ≤5 hr (hazard ratios 1.65; 95% confidence intervals 1.22-2.23) or ≥8 hr (hazard ratios 1.25; 95% confidence intervals 1.05-1.50), compared with consistently sleeping 6-7 hr per day (reference). The mortality rate among participants with short sleep during weekdays, but long sleep during weekends, did not differ from the rate of the reference group. Among individuals ≥65 years old, no association between weekend sleep or weekday/weekend sleep durations and mortality was observed. In conclusion, short, but not long, weekend sleep was associated with an increased mortality in subjects <65 years. In the same age group, short sleep (or long sleep) on both weekdays and weekend showed increased mortality. Possibly, long weekend sleep may compensate for short weekday sleep.

Project description:Introduction:Weekend oversleep or catchup sleep is a frequent occurrence in children, but there are relatively little data concerning its impact on weight and blood pressure. The aim of this study was to assess the association between sleep duration and oversleep, and weight and blood pressure in adolescents. Methods:Sleep duration, weight and blood pressure of 327 children (51.4% boys, mean age 13.3 ± 1.7 years) who had polysomnograms performed during both exam cycles of the Tucson Children's Assessment of Sleep Apnea study (TuCASA) were analyzed. Sleep duration on school nights and non-school nights was used to compute a weighted average of child and parent reported overall sleep duration respectively. Oversleep was defined as the difference between self and parent reported weekend sleep and weekday sleep separately. Simple correlations between overall sleep duration, sleep on school and non-school nights and oversleep, and blood pressure, standardized body mass index (BMI), snoring, respiratory disturbance index (RDI) and age were calculated. Significant bivariate associations then were used to develop multivariate partial correlation models. Results:Unadjusted negative correlations with BMI were noted for parent reported total sleep duration at the 1st exam cycle, parent and child reported total sleep and school night sleep duration, and parent reported non-school night sleep duration at the 2nd exam cycle. Additionally, for BMI, positive correlations were observed for log RDI at both exam cycles and snoring at the 2nd exam cycle. For blood pressure, there were positive associations with age, parent reported oversleep, caffeine consumption and snoring. Additionally, for blood pressure, negative relationships were observed with parent reported total sleep duration at the 1st exam cycle, and parent and child reported total sleep and school night sleep durations at the 2nd exam cycle. Partial correlations found that BMI was negatively correlated with parent reported total sleep duration at the 1st exam cycle and parent reported total sleep duration at the 2nd exam cycle, and positively correlated with snoring and log RDI at both exam cycles. Systolic blood pressure was only associated with age and snoring. Diastolic blood pressure was positively correlated with age and caffeine consumption, and negatively correlated with parent reported total and school night sleep duration. Oversleep and child reported sleep duration were not represented in any of these models. Conclusion:Lower amounts of sleep especially on school nights is associated with higher body weight and blood pressure. Oversleep was not associated with either body weight or blood pressure.

Project description:ImportanceThe association between sleep duration and all-cause mortality remains unclear among people with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).ObjectiveTo explore whether there is an association between sleep duration and all-cause mortality among people with OSA.Design, setting, and participantsThis cohort study investigated participants with OSA from the Sleep Heart Health Study (SHHS) in which participants were enrolled between 1995 and 1998 with questionnaires and polysomnography (PSG) assessment and followed up for a median of 11.8 years. SHHS was a multicenter community-based study; 2574 participants with OSA defined by apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) greater than or equal to 15 from SHHS were found; all of them had all-cause mortality data and were included in the study. Data were analyzed from November 2022 to October 2023.ExposuresParticipants were divided into 4 groups with objective sleep duration of (1) at least 7 hours, (2) 6 to less than 7 hours, (3) 5 to less than 6 hours, and (4) less than 5 hours, which was determined by total sleep time on PSG at baseline.Main outcomes and measuresAll-cause mortality was defined as deaths from any cause and its risk was compared among 4 OSA groups using Cox regression models.ResultsA total of 2574 participants with OSA were included (1628 [63.2%] men and 946 [36.8%] women; mean [SD] age, 65.4 [10.7] years; 211 [8.2%] Black, 2230 [86.6%] White, 133 [5.2%] other race). Overall, 688 all-cause deaths were observed in participants. Compared with the group sleeping at least 7 hours, the groups sleeping 6 to less than 7 hours (hazard ratio [HR], 1.53 [95% CI, 1.13-2.07]), 5 to less than 6 hours (HR, 1.40 [95% CI, 1.03-1.90]), and less than 5 hours (HR, 1.64 [95% CI, 1.20-2.24]) had significantly higher risks of all-cause mortality independent of AHI. Sensitivity analyses were performed among participants with available data of positive airway pressure treatment during follow-up and the finding was mostly consistent, albeit the HR for the group of 5 to less than 6 hours was not statistically significant.Conclusions and relevanceIn this cohort study of 2574 participants with OSA, those with shorter objective sleep duration had higher risk of all-cause mortality independent of AHI compared with those sleeping at least 7 hours. Further studies would be needed to investigate health benefits of extending sleep length among people with OSA with short sleep duration.
