Disturbed sleep quality and architecture in adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus: relation to glycemic control, vascular complications and insulin sensitivity

Sleep is a complex, highly organized biological and behavioral process crucial for the body homeostasis. [1] Disturbed sleep patterns (i.e., restriction, deprivation, and fragmentation) in healthy adults cause both metabolic and cardiovascular derangements. Moreover, insufficient sleep duration and poor sleep quality are associated with insulin resistance, impaired glucose metabolism and type 2 diabetes (T2D). [2, 3]
