Abstract

Data on the relationship between sleep architecture and diabetes are limited. However, some evidence suggests that slow-wave sleep (SWS) plays a crucial role in maintaining normal glucose homeostasis and influences insulin secretion capacity. Diabetes is often associated with reduced SWS, even in the absence of sleep-disordered breathing. Notably, selective suppression of SWS-without reducing total sleep time-can lead to significant increases in insulin resistance, decreased glucose tolerance, and a higher risk of diabetes. Given the growing interest in non-pharmacological lifestyle interventions, such as modifying sleep architecture, it is important to understand how sleep patterns differ in individuals with diabetes and whether these alterations impact diabetes risk and glycemic control. This review aims to provide a concise overview of the current findings on sleep architecture changes in people with diabetes.
