TL;DR

Shorter and longer sleep durations are associated with decreased insulin sensitivity in adolescents, and the association between shorter sleep duration and HOMA was appreciably attenuated, but the association with longer sleep persisted.

Abstract

Shorter and longer sleep durations are associated with decreased insulin sensitivity in adolescents. Although the association between shorter sleep duration with insulin sensitivity likely is explained by the association between short sleep duration and obesity, the association between longer sleep and insulin sensitivity is independent of obesity.
