What is Sleep?
• For the purposes of this talk, “short sleep” means:– Habitual sleep duration of ≤6 hours

Clinical significance of short sleep
Short sleep duration is an issue of pandemic proportions
Short sleep duration is associated with a number of adverse health outcomes:
• Obesity• Hypertension• Hyperlipidemia• Diabetes• Cancer• Mortality

Sleep Duration and Mortality
Obesity and weight gain
• At least 65 studies have shown an association between short sleep duration and obesity
• Several studies have shown that short sleep duration is associated with obesity

Sleep deprivation and IL-6
A Common Pathway
Spiegel, Tasali, Penev, and Van Cauter, 2004
Found decreases in leptin and increases in ghrelin
Change in leptin was stronger predictor of changes in hunger than the increase in ghrelin
Protection and Attenuation of Cortical Arousal
Failure and Resultant Sleep Instability
Issues Characterised by Increased Sleep Instability
1) Pain
2) Medication Use
3) Pregnancy
4) Insomnia
Why might Preventative Sleep Medicine be a Way Forward?
One Example (Acute Insomnia)
• Delivery of preventative platform would likely be easier than full CBT-I
• Less conditioned arousal • ‘Self-Schemata’ of insomnia not fully realized
• Reductions in direct and indirect costs associated with chronic insomnia
“An ounce of early intervention with acute insomnia may be worth a pound of CBT-I in the context of chronic insomnia”
