Objective Sleep and Circadian Metrics in Adolescents With Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus: A Systematic Review
Authors' conclusion
In adolescents with T1DM, disturbed sleep involves insufficient duration, fragmentation, variability, and circadian misalignment. Sleep efficiency and regularity showed more consistent associations with glycaemic outcomes than duration alone
Study context
- Population
- Adolescents aged 10 to 19 years with T1D; objective sleep or circadian measures10 studies
- Outcome
- Objective sleep and circadian parameters and associations with glycaemic outcomes
Methodological detailsPRISMA 2020, narrative synthesis (Synthesis Without Meta-analysis)

Pooled result
As reported in the abstract
Mean total sleep time (suboptimal sleep duration)
6.8-7.6 h/night
Further pooled results
Randomized evidence: closed-loop therapy vs standard care
- RCTs
- 2
- Neither demonstrated sustained improvements in objective sleep outcomes or glycaemic control
Study designs and risk of bias
- Studies with a healthy control group
- 1
- Most were single-cohort observational designs, limiting causal inference
- Risk of bias moderate in cross-sectional and low to moderate in cohort studies
