Abstract

Objective

Weekend sleep duration is linked to health issues, including mortality. However, how weekend sleep duration can impact chronic kidney disease (CKD) still needs to be understood. Therefore, we aimed to analyze how weekend sleep duration is associated with kidney function.

Methods

This is a cross-sectional study. Data were obtained from the 2017–2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. We included 5362 study participants and categorized them into nine subgroups by sleep duration (short: ≤6 hours, normal: 6–9 hours, and long: ≥9 hours) on weekdays and weekends and analyzed for the respective association with renal function using stratified multivariable linear regression.

Results

Weekend sleep duration for 9 hours or more was associated with decreasing estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) levels by 2.8 to 6.4 mL/min/1.73 m2 among people with long to short weekday sleep duration compared with short weekday and weekend sleep durations (control group) after adjusting for demographic characteristics, body measurement, sleep quality, smoking, and comorbidities. The study population with short weekday sleep duration (sWK) and long weekend sleep duration (lWD) had the most significant decline in eGFR. For the study population with sWK, eGFR level significantly decreased by 1.1 mL/min/1.73 m2 as sleep duration on weekends increased by one hour.

Conclusion

The underlying mediators of lWD and CKD could be the dysregulation of human behaviors, metabolism, or biological functions. Longer weekend sleep duration was linked to a decrease in eGFR levels. It warrants further study to clarify the mediators.

Graphical Abstract

Introduction

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is characterized by progressive damage and loss of kidney function over time, affecting more than 10% of the global population.Citation1 CKD, a well-known cardiovascular risk factor associated with all-cause mortality, has imposed a significant socioeconomic burden.Citation2 Although the etiology of CKD remains to be elucidated, it has been linked with numerous biological (eg, age, medication, diabetes, hypertension, and obesity), environmental (eg, environmental pollutants, heavy metals, agricultural chemicals), and lifestyle factors (eg, sleep and dietary behaviors, physical activity, tobacco smoking).Citation3,Citation4 Among these factors, lifestyle factors are the most amenable to making behavioral modifications for preventing and/or slowing CKD progression.Citation5

Many investigators have reported that sleep deficiency, including shorter or longer sleep duration (<6 hours or >8 hours) and poor sleep quality, is a significant risk for renal function deterioration.Citation6 Moreover, untreated sleep deficiency may contribute to chronic activation of the sympathetic nervous system, endothelial dysfunction, and systemic inflammation and such physiological alterations can contribute to CKD development and progression.Citation7 Therefore, there is a growing interest in studying sleep and its associations with renal health outcomes, particularly for an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) to prompt kidney health and prevent CKD-associated comorbidities.

Social factors such as work/school schedules can influence habitual sleep due to family and/or work commitments and social expectations surrounding daily routines.Citation8 As a result, social factors shape sleep behaviors termed “social jetlag”, where weekday sleep debts and weekend catch-up sleep lead to irregular sleep-wake patterns between weekdays and weekends.Citation9 Emerging evidence has suggested weekday-to-weekend sleep irregularity may contribute to enormous adverse impacts on health. For example, short weekend sleep was associated with increased mortality in subjects <65 years.Citation10 Weekend catch-up sleep was associated with poor sleep quality and mental health issues.Citation11 While prior studies have reported the association between the length of sleep duration and decreased eGFR, it remains unknown whether and how the weekday-to-weekend difference in sleep duration influences renal health outcomes. In light of what has been reported in the literature, we used data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) to examine the relationships of kidney function with weekday and weekend sleep duration.

Methods

Ethics Statement

In accordance with ethical guidelines, this study was reviewed and determined to be exempt from full IRB review by Tri-Service General Hospital Institutional Review Board in Taiwan (IRB, TSGHIRB approval number: E202316032).

Data Source

We conducted a cross-sectional analysis using data from the NHANES survey. The NHANES is a broad research program that assesses the health and nutritional status of individuals, encompassing adults and children in the United States. Initiated in the early 1960s, it occurs regularly, tracking and assessing changes in national health and nutrition trends every two years. The survey annually examines a nationally representative sample of 5000 persons. The NHANES interview covers demographic, socioeconomic, dietary, and health-related questions. The examination component involves medical, dental, and physiological measurements, as well as laboratory tests administered by highly trained medical personnel. NHANES protocols were approved by the National Center for Health Statistics Ethics Review Board and written informed consent was obtained from all participants. The analysis workflow is shown in . We included all participants (N = 9254) participated in the 2017–2018 cycle of the NHANES survey. After excluding missing data, there are 1859 participants included in multivariable analysis.

Demographic and Clinical Characteristics

Demographic variables age, sex, race, education, and body mass index (BMI). The Body measures data were collected in the Mobile Examination Center (MEC) by trained health technicians. In addition, sleep difficulty (Have you ever told doctor had trouble sleeping?), smoking status, cotinine metabolite (serum hydroxycotinine), kidney function indicators (eGFR, blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine, and albumin creatinine ratio), and comorbidities (kidney failure, kidney stones, congestive heart failure, stroke, emphysema, high blood pressure, and cholesterol) were included as clinical variables.

Sleep Measures

Sleep information were obtained through NHANES survey questions administered in participants’ homes by trained interviewers utilizing the Computer-Assisted Personal Interview system. The number of hours slept on weekdays and weekends is determined by calculating the stated normal sleep time and waking time throughout the major sleeping phase (night or day). Participants who experienced intermittent awakenings or brief sleep durations at night or throughout the day were instructed to provide details on the specific times they slept and woke up during their primary sleep phase. In the context of this study, weekdays, referred to as workdays, represent the days when study subjects are actively engaged in work, while weekends indicate the days when study subjects are not on duty.

Sleep duration variables included: (1) sleep duration on weekdays (WK), defined as the average sleep hours (h) on weekdays or workdays; (2) sleep duration on weekends (WKD), defined as the average sleep hours on weekend or non-workdays; and (3) weekend catch-up sleep is calculated by subtracting the duration of sleep on weekdays (h) from that on weekends (h). Further, sleep duration was categorized as three sleep duration categories: ≤6 h (short sleep duration), >6 to <9 h (normal sleep duration), and ≥9 h (long sleep duration).

To investigate weekday-to-weekend sleep duration differences, the participants were divided into nine sleep subgroups based on the combinations of sleep duration categories on weekdays and weekends. They are (1) short weekday sleep duration and short weekend sleep duration, termed as sWK-sWKD (2) short weekday sleep duration and normal weekend sleep duration, abbreviated as sWK-nWKD, (3) short weekday sleep duration and long weekend sleep duration, abbreviated as sWK-lWKD, (4) normal weekday sleep duration and short weekend sleep duration, abbreviated as nWK-sWKD, (5) normal weekday sleep duration and normal weekend sleep duration, abbreviated as nWK-nWKD, (6) normal weekday sleep duration and long weekend sleep duration, abbreviated as nWK-lWKD, (7) long weekday sleep duration and short weekend sleep duration, abbreviated as lWK-sWKD, (8) long weekday sleep duration and normal weekend sleep duration, abbreviated as lWK-nWKD, and (9) long weekday sleep duration and long weekend sleep duration, abbreviated as lWK-lWKD.

Renal Function

We used the R package of “CKDEpi.creatCitation12” to calculate eGFR using the data of serum creatinine, sex, age, and ethnicity based on the following CKD-EPI equation: , where SCr is the standardized serum creatinine in mg/dL, κ is 0.7 for females and 0.9 for males, a is −0.329 for females and −0.411 for males, min indicates the minimum of SCr /κ or 1, and max indicates the maximum of SCr /κ or 1. In this study, eGFR values were presented in mL/min/1.73 m2.

As the distributions of renal functions were skewed, we used the R package “bestNormalize” to normalize data. Blood urea nitrogen (mmol/L) was normalized using center-scale transformation. The levels of serum creatinine (µmol/L), albumin–creatinine ratio (mg/g), and serum hydroxycotinine (ng/mL) were normalized using log transformation. The descriptive statistics of the testing index are presented as non-normalized figures for clinical use. Transformed figures were used in the linear regression models.

Statistical Analysis

We used R version 4.0.2 to perform all statistical analyses. We performed an analysis of variance (ANOVA) or χ2 to examine the differences among sWK, nWK, and lWK subgroups or among sWD, nWD, and lWD subgroups in demographic and clinical characteristics. Univariable and multivariable linear regression analyses were used to examine the relationship of eGFR (the renal function indicator) with weekday and weekend sleep durations. In addition to eGFR, significant demographic characteristics (age, gender, race, and education), body measurement, sleep quality, smoking, and comorbidities were included as covariates in sequential multivariable linear regression models. The association of sleep duration on weekdays/weekends, age, and eGFR levels were analyzed using Pearson correlation. The significant level, α is set to 0.05. An alluvial plot was drawn through the R package of “ggalluvial” to display the population distribution stratified by sleep duration and eGFR levels. Forest plots were used to present the difference in eGFR levels among the sleep duration subgroups and plotted using the R package of “forestplot”.

Results

Descriptive Statistics

Indicators of demographics, sleep difficulty, smoking status, and kidney function were compared among the three sleep duration categories on weekdays and weekends. The result was shown in . Both weekday and weekend sleep durations were significantly associated with age (p < 0.001), sex (p < 0.001), BMI (p < 0.05), race (p < 0.001), education levels (p < 0.001), sleep difficulty (p < 0.001), and smoking (p < 0.01). Of note, weekend sleep duration was associated with eGFR levels (p < 0.001), and blood urea nitrogen (p < 0.001), while weekday sleep duration was not.

CKD-related comorbidities, including kidney failure, kidney stones, urinary incontinence, times of nocturia, congestive heart failure, stroke, emphysema, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol, were associated with weekday and/or weekend sleep durations (). We thus included these covariates in the multivariable linear regression models.

illustrates the raw eGFR levels within the nine subgroups delineated by combinations of sleep duration categories (short [s], normal [n], long sleep duration [l] on weekdays [WK], or weekends [KD], respectively). The estimated average eGFR levels were the lowest in the subgroup of sWK-sWKD (89.4 ± 25.3 mL/min/1.73 m2) and were the highest in the subgroup of sWK-lWKD (106 ± 22.3 mL/min/1.73 m2). The proportions of eGFR levels of <90 mL/min/1.73 m2 in the sleep subgroups of sWK-sWKD, nWK-nWKD, and lWK-lWKD were 48.9%, 45.1%, and 43.5%, respectively.

Sensitivity Analysis

presents the results of multivariable linear regression of eGFR levels with nine sleep subgroups (n = 1859). The model was under the adjustment of BMI, age, gender, race, education, failing kidneys, serum hydroxycotinine (ng/mL), smoking status, congestive heart failure, stroke, emphysema, sleep difficulty, weekend catch-up sleep, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, times of nocturia, kidney stones, and urinary incontinence. The decreasing trends of eGFR levels were observed from sWKD to lWKD among all subgroups in the adjusted model. No matter how long the subjects slept on weekdays, longer weekend sleep durations were significantly associated with eGFR declines. Participants in sWK-lWKD subgroup were significantly associated with the lowest eGFR level (β: −6.4, 95% CI: −11.8~ −0.9, p = 0.02) compared to those in sWK-sWKD. The strength of eGFR declines in sWK (β = −6.4 for sWK-lWKD with p = 0.02; β = −5.0 for sWK-nWKD with p = 0.02) was more evident than those in nWK (β = −1.9 for sWK-nWKD with p = 0.11; β = −3.8 for sWK-lWKD with p = 0.03) and lWK (β = −3.6 for sWK-nWKD with p = 0.10; β = −2.8 for sWK-lWKD with p = 0.04).

presents the results of stepwise adjusted linear regression models used to examine the association of eGFR levels with sleep duration on weekends. The result under the unadjusted model (Model 1, n = 5362) demonstrated that long sleep duration on weekends was associated with higher eGFR levels. Model 2 was adjusted by BMI, age, gender, race, and education (n = 4779). Model 3 was adjusted for the covariates in Model 2, BMI, age, gender, race, education, kidney failure, serum hydroxycotinine (ng/mL), smoking status, congestive heart failure, stroke, emphysema, sleep difficulty, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, times of nocturia, kidney stones, and urinary incontinence (n = 1859). In the adjusted Model 3, short sleep duration on weekdays but longer sleep duration on weekends was associated with lower eGFR levels (β = −1.1, p < 0.05).

Age was a strong factor negatively associated with eGFR levels (p < 2e-16, Pearson correlation coefficient r = −0.75) (Figure S1). The average eGFR levels of four age groups [<20, 20–39, 40–59, and above 60 years of age] were 136.2±18.8, 112.9±17.0, 95.3±17.4, and 74.7±19.8 mL/min/1.73 m2, respectively (Figure S2). We conducted the sensitivity analysis of the nine sleep subgroups and eGFR levels, stratified by age, and adjusted by BMI, age, gender, race, education, kidney failure, serum hydroxycotinine (ng/mL), smoking status, congestive heart failure, stroke, emphysema, catch-up sleep, sleep difficulty, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, times of nocturia, kidney stones, and urinary incontinence (). No statistical difference was shown in eGFR levels among the nine sleep subgroups aged 40–59 years after adjusting for the covariates. In general, short weekend sleep duration for 6 hours or less was associated with increasing eGFR levels but had no statistical significance compared with sWK-sWKD except for those aged 20–39 years in the nWK group and the ones aged above 60 years in the lWK group. Beneficial association of eGFR levels and sleep duration on weekends in a dose–response manner were only observed in those aged 20–39 in the nWK group. Still, inverse effects were observed in those aged 40 or above in the nWK groups. The respective and combined impacts of weekday and weekend sleep duration on eGFR levels were variable with age.

Discussion

It has been studied that short or long sleep duration were linked to CKD.Citation6,Citation13 However, the combination effects of weekday and weekend sleep on CKD were not elucidated.

To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to examine the relationships of sleep duration on weekdays and weekends with kidney function. This study demonstrated that long weekend sleep duration was associated with eGFR declines, regardless weekday sleep duration. The decrease in eGFR was especially severe in people with short weekday sleep duration.

Weekday and weekend sleep durations should be separately considered when analyzing the association between sleep duration and kidney functions. As discovered by Roenneberg et al, social time, particularly work schedules, significantly impacts sleep. When sleep duration is analyzed separately for work and free days, the strong social influence on sleep becomes clear.Citation8 This finding is consistent with our study, where no significant association was found between weekday and weekend sleep duration difference and eGFR levels (data not shown). Yet a significant association was observed while we separately analyzed weekday and weekend sleep durations, which may explain some of the inconsistencies in the findings of the association between sleep duration and CKD,Citation14–16 as well as the fact that social activity plays an important role in the relationship between sleep duration and kidney function.

In our findings, eGFR decreased more in sWK-lWKD and nWK-lWKD compared with sWK-sWKD. Weekend sleep duration, which was much higher than weekday sleep duration, was linked to a severe decrease in eGFR levels. Sleep duration on weekends is more likely to reflect the biological need for sleep due to less social influence on weekends (also termed as free days).Citation17 sWK-lWK and nWK-lWK subgroups presented the sleep deprivation on weekdays. Numerous studies indicated the harmful effects of sleep deprivation on kidney functions through the dysregulation of human behavioral processes,Citation18 ie, dietCitation19 and physical activity,Citation20 and biological functions, including immune,Citation21 regular circadian rhythm, sympathetic nervous system activity,Citation22 and physiological metabolism.Citation23 The mechanism underlying the relationship between the weekday-to-weekend differences in sleep duration and renal function remains unclear but could be attributed to the abovementioned kidney health factors.

In addition, shorter weekday sleep and longer weekend catch-up sleep are associated with eating without hunger, which may cause weight gainCitation19 and metabolic syndrome onset.Citation24 Short sleepers are more likely to consume a greater percentage of carbohydrates, potentially leading to metabolic disordersCitation24,Citation25 and associated with a higher risk of inadequate hydration.Citation26

It is known that weekend catch-up sleep was associated with the prevalence of proteinuria in a dose-dependent manner for the group with short weekday sleep durations for less than 6 hours,Citation27 which echoed our findings on eGFR levels. On the contrary, weekend catch-up sleep behavior was significantly associated with better health-related quality of life than non-weekend catch-up sleep for participants who slept less or later on weekdays in the study of Yun Hwan Oh et al.Citation28 However, regarding renal function, weekend catch-up sleep may not compromise kidney impairment, especially for those who sleep less on weekdays. A regular sleep schedule between weekdays and weekends was essential for protecting kidney functions.

However, as to lWK-lWKD, social jetlag may not be the mediate factor to eGFR declines. This finding aligned with previous studies that long sleep duration was associated with the prevalence and progression of CKDCitation6,Citation15 and was verified in a longitudinal study.Citation29 Long sleep duration can serve as an initial symptom or the result of unmeasured diseases and conditions, such as sleep disorders and circadian rhythm abnormalities, and further linked to CKD.Citation30

Sleep time is determined by numerous factors and chorotype, including health behaviors, lifestyle factors, cultural norms, demographic factors, psychological factors, medications, chronic health conditions, and poor sleep hygiene. We included the most available factors from NHANES and leveraged the missing data and variable numbers. Hence, we excluded nutrition factors.

There are certain limitations in this study. The indicators of sleep difficulty, sleep time, smoking, and self-disease reports are derived from surveys, which may be influenced by memory bias. The study did not take into account dietary factors such as the consumption of red meat, medicines such as Insulin, and exercise behaviors. Additionally, the observed association between sleep and kidney function in this study was not causal. It is crucial to note that determining a causal effect requires further elucidation. Specifically, prospective research is warranted to examine the impact of lifestyle factors on the relationship between weekday-to-weekend sleep durations and renal function.

Conclusion

Longer weekend sleep duration was associated with decreasing eGFR levels regardless of weekday sleep duration. This situation was the worst for those with a short weekday sleep duration. Hence, when exploring the relationship between sleep duration and CKD, weekday sleep duration (habitual sleep) and weekend sleep duration (unusual sleep) should be considered separately. Further research is required to validate the causal association and identify modifiable risk factors contributing to the prolonged weekend sleep linked to CKD. Subsequently, early intervention strategies could be implemented to prevent or mitigate kidney impairment.

Research Involving Human Participants and/or Animals

This study utilized secondary data from the NHANES (National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey), indicating that we did not directly involve or handle any human participants or animals in the actual research. NHANES is a large-scale survey conducted by government agencies, with prior informed consent obtained from the participants. Therefore, in conducting secondary analysis, we did not undertake new research involving human or animal participation and did not require additional ethical review approval. We respect the privacy and ethical principles of the original survey, ensuring that the use of research findings complies with relevant laws and standards.
