    Sleep Loss Lowers Metabolic Rate

    Sleep is one of the most neglected aspects of health for most athletes. Not getting a good night’s sleep can not only affect performance but it can also impact your gains in the gym.  Studies in volunteers who slept short versus long hours show that sleep reduction was accompanied by increased hunger, higher circulating concentrations of the appetite-stimulating hormone, ghrelin, and reduced concentrations of the anorexigenic hormone, leptin. To determine whether sleep restriction attenuates the effects of a reduced-calorie diet on excess adiposity, researchers had subjects follow a similar diet but differed the duration of sleep. One group slept 8½ hours per night while the other group slept 5½ hours. Sleep curtailment decreased the fraction of weight lost of fat by 55%and increased the loss of fat-free body mass by 60%.

    In summary, dieting adults getting 5½ hours of sleep produced a catabolic state characterized by reduced loss of body fat and increased loss of fat-free body mass, accompanied by increased hunger and changes in energy expenditure and the neuroendocrine control of substrate utilization.

    The findings should make athletes aware that cutting back on sleep while dieting can not only cause a catabolic state but can also hinder fat-loss gains.

    In this month’s prestigious journal of Obesity, researchers reported that sleep loss can result in reduced metabolic rate. Short sleep duration is a significant risk factor for weight gain. Researchers wanted to examine the impact of losing sleep and its effect on metabolism. Healthy adults participated in a controlled laboratory study. After two baseline sleep nights, subjects were randomized to an experimental:

    – 4 hours a sleep per night for five nights followed by one night with 12 h recovery sleep) or control condition (10 hours sleep/ per night). Resting metabolic rate and respiratory quotient were measured using indirect calorimetry in the morning after overnight fasting.

    Resting metabolic rate—the largest component of energy expenditure—decreased after sleep restriction (−2.6%) and returned to baseline levels after recovery sleep. Sleep restriction decreased morning resting metabolic rate in healthy adults, suggesting that sleep loss leads to metabolic changes aimed at conserving energy.

    Sleep is one of the most neglected aspects of dieting. Missing out on sleep may not only make you tired but will blunt your fat loss.
