ImpactModerate impact

The discussions reflect recognition that sleep's role in metabolic health could influence public health priorities, though the overall impact appears moderate.

Abstract in brief

Sleep deprivation is increasingly common and may contribute to the rising rates of diabetes and obesity through three main pathways: changes in how glucose is processed, increased hunger, and reduced energy use.
Studies suggest that losing sleep can disrupt glucose metabolism, boost appetite, and lower physical activity, all of which can lead to weight gain and higher diabetes risk.
The article reviews current evidence supporting these mechanisms, highlighting the complex ways sleep loss impacts metabolic health.]
