Multiple epidemiological studies and clinical reports establish a dose-response relationship between sleep loss and obesity, noting that shorter sleep duration correlates with higher BMI [1], [2], [3]. Furthermore, major health organizations and research committees identify chronic sleep loss as a significant risk factor for developing obesity [4], [5], [6].

claimThe association between sleep loss and diabetes is independent of obesity, as adjustment for waist girth did not alter the significance of the findings in the Sleep Heart Health Study.
claimThe Institute of Medicine (US) Committee on Sleep Medicine and Research associates chronic sleep loss and sleep disorders with an increased risk of hypertension, diabetes, obesity, depression, heart attack, and stroke.
claimSleep loss, defined as less than 7 hours per night, may have wide-ranging adverse effects on the cardiovascular, endocrine, immune, and nervous systems, including obesity, diabetes, impaired glucose tolerance, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, anxiety symptoms, depressed mood, and alcohol use.
claimThere is a dose-response relationship between sleep loss and obesity, where sleeping less than 7 hours per night correlates with higher body mass index (BMI), which is calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared.
claimEpidemiological studies of young children (Locard et al., 1992; Sekine et al., 2002; von Kries et al., 2002) and adults (Vioque et al., 2000; Kripke et al., 2002; Gupta et al., 2002; Taheri et al., 2004; Hasler et al., 2004) have established a relationship between sleep loss and obesity.
claimThe cumulative effects of sleep loss and sleep disorders are associated with an increased risk of hypertension, diabetes, obesity, depression, heart attack, and stroke.
claimChronic sleep loss and sleep disorders are associated with an increased risk of hypertension, diabetes, obesity, depression, heart attack, and stroke.
claimEvidence suggests that obesity rates may increase as sleep loss trends worsen, and that treating obesity may benefit sleep disorders while treating sleep deprivation and sleep disorders may benefit individuals with obesity, according to Taheri et al. (2004).
claimThere is a dose-response relationship between sleep loss and obesity, where shorter sleep duration is associated with greater obesity as measured by body mass index (BMI).
