Abstract
Aims/Introduction
Previous observational studies have suggested an increased risk of type 2 diabetes associated with both short and long sleep duration. However, there remains uncertainty, particularly regarding the adverse effects of long sleep duration. We investigated the association between self-reported questionnaire-based and objectively measured accelerometer-derived sleep duration and the risk of type 2 diabetes using data from the UK Biobank.
Materials and Methods
First, we performed conventional Cox regression analysis with restricted cubic splines to illustrate the potentially non-linear association between sleep duration and the risk of type 2 diabetes. Second, we performed non-linear Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis using the doubly-ranked method with 85 and 20 genetic variants associated with questionnaire-based and accelerometer-based sleep duration, respectively. Third, we performed two-sample MR analysis.
Results
The results of conventional analysis of accelerometer-derived sleep duration did not suggest a strong association between longer sleep duration and type 2 diabetes risk (hazard ratio [HR] of ≥10 h compared with 7–8 h, 1.08; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.92–1.27). The results of non-linear MR showed no strong evidence for an increased risk of type 2 diabetes associated with questionnaire-based longer sleep duration (HR of 9 h compared with 7 h, 0.77; 95% CI, 0.52–1.15). This finding was consistent with non-linear MR of accelerometer-derived sleep duration (HR of 9 h compared with 7 h, 0.78; 95% CI, 0.29–2.06).
Conclusions
Our findings suggest that longer sleep duration does not play a major role in the development of type 2 diabetes.

Journal of Diabetes Investigation is your core diabetes journal from Asia; the official journal of the Asian Association for the Study of Diabetes (AASD). The journal publishes original research, country reports, commentaries, reviews, mini-reviews, case reports, letters, as well as editorials and news. Embracing clinical and experimental research in diabetes and related areas, the Journal of Diabetes Investigation includes aspects of prevention, treatment, as well as molecular aspects and pathophysiology. Translational research focused on the exchange of ideas between clinicians and researchers is also welcome. Journal of Diabetes Investigation is indexed by Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE).
