DECREASED SLEEP ASSOCIATED WITH CONSTIPATION

DECREASED SLEEP ASSOCIATED WITH CONSTIPATION

 

Check out this article in Healio about a recent study demonstrating that both decreased and increased sleep correlated with constipation among U.S. adults in a nationwide survey, with too little sleep persistently increasing risk by 30% after adjusting for other factors.

Healio: Decreased sleep associated with constipation among U.S adults

 

“Kyle Staller, MD, MPH, director of the GI Motility Laboratory at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School in Boston, told Healio Gastroenterology and Liver Disease: “When people are having periods where they are having less quality sleep, they may subsequently be at risk for bowel disturbances. We know that among shift workers that IBS symptoms tend to be worse among those that work alternating [shifts] that don’t match with their circadian rhythm and we know that people with IBS also tend to have worsened symptoms after a bad night of sleep. This adds further credence to the idea that sleep and bowels are very intimately connected. With a study like this we can never speak of causality or directionality. Targeting sleep and central mechanisms may have an impact on bowel functions.”

“Investigators found patients with normal sleep duration had a lower prevalence of constipation compared with those with short and long duration of sleep (8.3% vs. 11% and 12.5%, respectively; P < .0001). Shortened sleep duration correlated with 38% increased risk of constipation.”
