Reproductive fitness

upin flies1

1 study
  1. Sleep restriction therapy improves reproductive fitness in flies.

    “sleep impairments in these models are reversible with sleep restriction, with associated improvement in reproductive fitness and extended lifespan”

Daytime dysfunction

no changein humans1

1 study
  1. Sleep restriction therapy has no effect on daytime dysfunction in humans (1.94 vs 1.63, P = 0.272).

    “Mean of sleep medication intake and daytime dysfunction after intervention were 0.947, 1.94 in experimental group and 0.894, 1.63 in control group respectively, which showed no significant difference (P = 0.903, P = 0.272).”

    Human trial4 weekn = 38

Sleep medication intake

no changein humans1

1 study
  1. Sleep restriction therapy has no effect on sleep medication intake in humans (0.947 vs 0.894, P = 0.903).

    “amount of sleep medication intake and daytime dysfunction did not show a significant difference after intervention.”

Quality of sleep

upin humans1

1 study
  1. Sleep restriction therapy improves quality of sleep in humans (from 14.21 to 11.26 vs 13 to 12.78, P = 0.038).

    “Independent t-test showed a significant difference after the intervention (P = 0.038).”
