The importance of sleep to hormones and glucose metabolism was first documented more than four decades ago. Since then, sleep curtailment has become an endemic behavior in modern society. In addition, the prevalence of sleep disorders, particularly obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), has increased. OSA is very common in endocrine and metabolic disorders, but often remains undiagnosed. This Review summarizes the laboratory and epidemiologic evidence that suggests how sleep loss, either behavioral or disease-related, and poor quality of sleep might promote the development of obesity and diabetes mellitus, and exacerbate existing endocrine conditions. Treatment of sleep disorders has the potential to improve glucose metabolism and energy balance. Screening for habitual sleep patterns and OSA might be critically important for patients with endocrine and metabolic disorders.

- Quantity and Quality of Sleep and Incidence of Type 2 Diabetes (2009, neutral): “These in turn would increase appetite and caloric intake, reduce energy expenditure (3,4), and facilitate the development of obesity (4,6) and impaired glycemic control (36), increasing cardiovascular risk.”
- Timing to perfection: the biology of central and peripheral circadian clocks. (2012, background): “Shift-work and sleep deprivation are known to dampen rhythms in growth hormone and melatonin, reduce insulin sensitivity, and elevate circulating cortisol levels (Spiegel et al., 2009).”
- Circadian Timing of Food Intake Contributes to Weight Gain (2009, neutral): “Sleep restriction or poor sleep quality could also be leading to weight gain (11), although our preliminary data (12) indicate no overall sleep di"erences between light- and dark-fed mice.”
- Exercise training improves sleep quality in middle-aged and older adults with sleep problems: a systematic review. (2012, background): “It can also impair the metabolic, endocrine, and immune systems, among other deleterious effects (Spiegel 2009, Knutson et al 2007, Miller and Cappuccio 2007).”
