Effects of ad libitum food intake, insufficient sleep and weekend recovery sleep on energy balance.

STUDY OBJECTIVES Insufficient sleep is believed to promote positive energy balance (EB) and weight-gain. Increasing weekend sleep duration to "recover" from weekday sleep loss is common, yet little is known regarding how weekend recovery sleep influences EB. We conducted a randomized controlled trial to assess how: 1) 2 days and 8 days of insufficient sleep and 2) ad libitum weekend recovery sleep impact EB (energy intake [EI] - energy expenditure [EE]). METHODS Following ten baseline days with 9h per night sleep opportunities, participants completed one of three 10-day experimental protocols with ad libitum EI: control (9h sleep opportunities; n=8; 23±5y [mean±SD]); sleep restriction (SR; 5h sleep opportunities; n=14; 25±5y); sleep restriction with weekend recovery sleep (SR+WR; 5 days insufficient sleep, 2 days ad libitum weekend recovery sleep, 3 days recurrent insufficient sleep; n=14; 27±4y). RESULTS 24h EB increased (P < 0.001; main effect) by an average of 797.7±96.7 (±SEM) kcal during the 10-day experimental protocol versus baseline with no significant differences between groups. Percent change from baseline in 24h-EE was higher (P < 0.05) on day 2 of insufficient sleep (SR and SR+WR groups; 10±1%) versus adequate sleep (control group; 4±3%). CONCLUSIONS In this between-group study, the effects of adequate sleep and insufficient sleep, with or without or weekend recovery sleep, on 24h-EB were similar. Examining EB and body weight changes using within-subject cross-over designs and "free-living" conditions outside the laboratory (e.g., sleep extension) are needed to advance our understanding of the links between insufficient sleep, weekend recovery sleep and weight-gain.
