906 Citations2005James E. Gangwisch, Dolores Malaspina +2 more
The hypothesis that sleep duration is associated with obesity in a large longitudinally monitored United States sample supports earlier experimental sleep studies and provides a basis for future studies on weight control interventions that increase the quantity and quality of sleep.

790 Citations2006H. Klar Yaggi, Andre B. Araujo +1 more
Short and long sleep durations increase the risk of developing diabetes, independent of confounding factors, and sleep duration may represent a novel risk factor for diabetes.

It appears that the presence of EDS is more strongly associated with depression and metabolic factors than with sleep-disordered breathing or sleep disruption per se, and patients with a complaint of E DS should be thoroughly assessed for depression and obesity/diabetes independent of whether sleep- disordered breathing is present.
SLEEPA Prospective Study of Sleep Duration and Mortality Risk in Women

Findings confirm previous findings that mortality risk in women is lowest among those sleeping 6 to 7 hours, and further research is needed to understand the mechanisms by which short and long sleep times can affect health.

Britain's sleep is document based on a nationally representative sample of 1997, 16–93 year olds, who participated in face‐to‐face interviews, which revealed that Britain sleeps as little or less, whereas a comparison with data reported 40 years ago revealed no statistically reliable reductions.

336 Citations2002Pauline Heslop, George Davey Smith +3 more
Short sleep over a prolonged period may be associated with an increased risk of mortality: men and women who reported sleeping fewer than 7 h in 24 on two occasions between 4 and 7 years apart, had greater risk of dying from any cause over a 25 year period.
Sleep Medicine ReviewsLong sleep and mortality: rationale for sleep restriction
321 Citations2004Shawn D. Youngstedt, Daniel F. Kripke
There is sufficient evidence to warrant future testing of the hypothesis that mild sleep restriction would decrease mortality in long sleepers, and sleep restriction may be most beneficial for older adults, who tend to spend excessive time in bed and have more sleep fragmentation compared with young adults.
