    However, other possible explanations may also be considered. Previous literature has demonstrated that in addition to short sleep duration per se, self-reported short sleep duration may be also associated with poor sleep quality, emotional stress and other social demographic factors (i.e., income, education, race, and behavioral risk factors) [74,75]. In the current meta-analysis, most of the included studies did not adjust for these confounding factors.

    Increases in hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis activity are associated with an increased risk for metabolic and cognitive impairments (McEwen, 2000; Incollingo Rodriguez et al., 2015; Popp et al., 2015). Likewise, sleep contributes to energy homeostasis and food intake regulation (St-Onge et al., 2014; Reutrakul and van Cauter, 2018): habitually short sleep goes along with increased body weight (Magee and Hale, 2012; Vgontzas et al., 2014) and a greater risk of impaired glucose homeostasis (Gangwisch et al., 2007; Cappuccio et al., 2010; for review, see Schmid et al., 2015). Moreover, the consolidation of memory contents markedly benefits from the brain's offline processing during sleep (Feld and Born, 2017) presumably because neuronal ensembles that encode information during wakefulness are reactivated during subsequent sleep, thereby strengthening respective memory representations (Diekelmann and Born, 2010).

    Together, these results suggest that reports of sleep disturbance might be more robustly associated with increases in inflammation than can be explained simply by a reduction in sleep duration, although it is not known what aspect of sleep disturbance contributes to increases in inflammation. Additionally, sleep disturbance when combined with short sleep duration is thought to have a particularly negative effect on health outcomes, including hypertension;22,36 however, most studies of sleep and inflammation have predominantly examined sleep disturbance and sleep duration in separately, or in separate statistical models.11 In a 5-year longitudinal study in the USA of 2962 African-American and white adults aged 33–45 years, both sleep disturbance and subjectively reported short sleep duration were significant predictors of increases of CRP and IL-6.37
