Impact of night sentry duties on cardiometabolic health in military personnel

Table 1 Findings from recent studies

Ref.	Population	Methodology	Key findings
Nollet et al[31]	Healthy adults	Polysomnography	Demonstrated increased sympathetic activity and heart rate variability reduction after one night of sleep deprivation
Dettoni et al[32]	Middle-aged individuals	Longitudinal study	Found a significant association between sleep duration and incidence of hypertension over 5 years
Dettoni et al[32]	Obese individuals	Experimental	Showed that 5 nights of restricted sleep led to endothelial dysfunction, as measured by flow-mediated dilation
Dettoni et al[32]	Elderly population	Cross-sectional	Reported higher levels of inflammatory markers in those with sleep disturbances, correlating with increased cardiovascular risk
Orzeł-Gryglewska[33]	Sleep apnea patients	Clinical trial	Indicated improvement in blood pressure and heart rate variability with effective treatment of sleep disorders
Sauvet et al[34]	Young adults	Survey-based	Found that self-reported sleep deprivation correlated with higher rates of perceived stress and cardiovascular symptoms
