Patterson et al. (2014) examined the relationship between habitual short sleep duration and increased risk of obesity. The purpose of the study was to explore the relationship of habitual sleep duration with objectively measured energy intake and physical activity during the daytime spent under free-living conditions. The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Energetics Study of dietary assessment methods and biomarkers conducted a cross sectional study of dietary assessment with 223 healthy individuals, in which 112 were African-American and 111 were non-Hispanic. The study was conducted over a three-year period and the participants were recruited through digital media and public postings. Potential participants were screen for various eligibility requirements such as age, weight patterns, and willingness to record diet and physical activity. Selected participants also had to be free of a long list of specific health conditions (e.g. diabetes, hemophilia, renal failure, etc.). Participants could not have other conditions affecting fluid balance, been treated with supplemental oxygen, used antiretroviral, anti-neoplastic, antiulcer/ anti-reflux, or central nervous system drugs, or a history of any surgery. In order to provide incentive, participants were compensated $150 at the end of each visit and $50 at the completion of the study. Participants had to visit the UCLA General Clinical Research center twice over a two week period. They provided the information related to about the mean number of hours spent for sleeping on a daily basis in the past year to assess sleep. Short sleep duration was identified as six hours per day. Energy intake was measured using a doubly labeled water to capture total energy expenditure. When weight is stable, as was the case with the study participants, total energy expenditure is approximately equal to energy intake, making total energy expenditure an appropriate measure. Urine samples were taken from each participant...
