Sleep and its disorders are increasingly becoming important in our sleep deprived society. Sleep is intricately connected to various hormonal and metabolic processes in the body and is important in maintaining metabolic homeostasis. Research shows that sleep deprivation and sleep disorders may have profound metabolic and cardiovascular implications. Sleep deprivation, sleep disordered breathing, and circadian misalignment are believed to cause metabolic dysregulation through myriad pathways involving sympathetic overstimulation, hormonal imbalance, and subclinical inflammation. This paper reviews sleep and metabolism, and how sleep deprivation and sleep disorders may be altering human metabolism.
在这个睡眠剥夺的社会中，睡眠及其障碍变得越来越重要。睡眠与身体中的各种激素和代谢过程密切相关，对于维持代谢平衡非常重要。研究表明，睡眠剥夺和睡眠障碍可能对代谢和心血管系统产生深远的影响。睡眠剥夺、睡眠呼吸紊乱和昼夜节律紊乱被认为通过涉及交感神经过度兴奋、激素失衡和亚临床炎症的多种途径导致代谢失调。本文综述了睡眠与代谢之间的关系，以及睡眠剥夺和睡眠障碍如何改变人类的代谢。
