We hypothesized that in obese adolescents, sleep disturbances would associate with altered glucose and insulin homeostasis. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHOD...

Unsupervised clustering of staged human polysomnographic recordings reveals a hierarchy of sleep composition types described primarily by sleep efficiency and slow wave sleep content. Associations are found between these sleep clusters and health-related variables including BMI, smoking habits, and heart disease, showing that sleep types correspond to objective and medically relevant groupings....
