Blood glucose levels were altered during sleep by manipulating carbohydrate (CHO) intake through bedtime food supplements. Protein and fat intake were minimally affected. Subjects [human] underwent all conditions in a balanced design. A high CHO condition resulted in significantly reduced stages 1 + 0 sleep over the whole night and significantly increased REM [rapid eye movement] sleep during the first half of the night; there seemed to be a reciprocity between these 2 changes. High CHO also produced a whole-night significant decrease in stage 4 sleep, which persisted into the recovery night. Few significant differences between the other conditions of low and zero CHO were found. Sleep onset was not affected. Relatively high blood glucose levels were required to alter sleep, and perhaps lead to more restful sleep. These findings were similar to those of related studies. REM sleep changes were discussed in relation to increases in brain serotonin synthesis mediated by elevated blood glucose levels.
