Reduced sleep linked to weight gain

Overview

A Columbia University study of 95 adults at risk for cardiometabolic disease found that cutting nightly sleep by about 90 minutes for six weeks led to an average weight gain of roughly 0.5 kg and a modest increase in waist circumference. Participants became more sedentary, while moderate and vigorous exercise levels stayed the same; body‑fat and muscle‑mass ratios did not change noticeably, and food intake was not tracked.

A follow‑up report a week later described the same experiment with a 1.5‑hour sleep reduction, noting a similar weight gain of 0.45 kg, elevated leptin levels and lower energy expenditure, partly due to increased sedentary behavior. The later piece also included commentary from an Indonesian sleep coach who stressed the importance of total sleep duration over focusing solely on deep‑sleep phases.
