The Claim

In adults with prediabetes and short sleep duration, both lifestyle intervention and lifestyle intervention plus sleep extension result in significant increases in device-estimated sleep duration, with no statistically significant difference in the magnitude of increase between the two groups.

In plain English

Among adults with prediabetes and short sleep, adding sleep extension to lifestyle changes does not lead to greater increases in measured sleep time compared to lifestyle changes alone.

See the scientific wording

In adults with prediabetes and short sleep duration, both lifestyle intervention and lifestyle intervention plus sleep extension lead to significant increases in device-estimated sleep duration, but the magnitude of increase does not differ significantly between groups, indicating that sleep extension does not produce greater sleep duration gains than lifestyle changes alone.

Why this might work

When people change their eating, activity, and bedtime habits, their body's internal clock adjusts to a more regular schedule, which makes it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep longer without needing extra sleep advice.

  1. Study: 0900 Comparing a Lifestyle Plus Sleep Extension to a Lifestyle Intervention in Adults with Short Sleep and Prediabetes

    For people with prediabetes who don’t sleep enough, both improving diet/exercise and adding a sleep plan helped them sleep more—but adding the sleep plan didn’t help them sleep any longer than diet and exercise alone.
