Selective suppression of slow wave sleep does not affect insulin sensitivity in patients with type 1 diabetes

Donga E. , van Dijk M. , Lammers G. , van Kralingen K. , van Dijk G. , Corssmit E. , Romijn J.

Background: Human sleep is composed of different sleep stages, of which slow wave sleep (SWS) is an important modulator of glucose regulation. Curtailment of sleep duration in general and of slow wave sleep (SWS) in particular reduces glucose tolerance in healthy subjects. Previously, we have reported that a single night of partial sleep deprivation reduces insulin sensitivity by 15–20% in patients with type 1 diabetes. We hypothesized that this effect could be a conseque...
