Habitual Short Sleep Duration, Diet, and Development of Type 2 Diabetes in Adults.

Importance: Understanding the interplay between sleep duration, dietary habits, and the risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2D) is crucial for public health and diabetes prevention strategies.

Objective: To investigate the associations of type of diet and duration of sleep with the development of T2D.

Design, Setting, And Participants: Data derived from the UK Biobank baseline investigation (2006-2010) were analyzed for this cohort study between May 1 and September 30, 2023.

A useful tool or a new challenge? Hand-wrist-worn sleep trackers in patients with insomnia.

Consumer sleep wearables are increasingly popular, even among patients with sleep problems. However, the daily feedback provided by these devices could exacerbate sleep-related worry. To investigate this issue, 14 patients received a self-help guide booklet to improve sleep and wore the sleep tracker Fitbit Inspire 2 on their non-dominant hand for 4 weeks, while a control group of 12 patients only kept a handwritten sleep diary.
