Abstract
Context Blood pressure and plasma catecholamines normally decline during sleep and rapidly increase in early morning. This is blunted in adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Objective We hypothesize that increased sympatho-adrenal activity during sleep differentiates youth with T2D from nondiabetic obese youth and lean youth. Methods Fasting spot morning and 24-hour urines were collected in obese adolescents with and without T2D, and normal-weight controls. Fractionated free urine catecholamines (epinephrine, norepinephrine, and dopamine) were measured, and the ratio of fasting spot morning to 24-hour catecholamines was calculated. Results Urinary 24-hour catecholamine levels were comparable across the 3 groups. Fasting morning epinephrine and the ratio of fasting morning/24-hour epinephrine were higher in youth with T2D (P = 0.004 and P = 0.035, respectively). In males, the ratio of fasting morning/24-hour epinephrine was also higher in youth with T2D (P = 0.005). In females, fasting morning norepinephrine and the ratio of fasting morning/24-hour dopamine were lower in obese youth with and without T2D (P = 0.013 and P = 0.005, respectively) compared with lean youth. Systolic blood pressure was higher in diabetic participants than other groups; males trended higher than females. Conclusion Circadian rhythm in catecholamines is disrupted in youth-onset T2D, with a blunted overnight fall in urinary epinephrine in males. Conversely, fasting morning norepinephrine and dopamine levels were lower in obese females with or without T2D. Higher nocturnal catecholamines in males with T2D might associate with, or predispose to, hypertension and cardiovascular complications. Lower catecholamine excretion in females with obesity might serve an adaptive, protective role.

Abstract
Chronic insufficient sleep is a common occurrence around the world and results in numerous physiological detriments and consequences, including cardiovascular complications. The purpose of the present study was to assess the relationship between habitual total sleep time (TST) measured objectively via at-home actigraphy and heart rate (HR) reactivity to nocturnal cortical arousals. We hypothesized that short habitual TST would be associated with exaggerated cardiac reactivity to nocturnal cortical arousals. Participants included 35 healthy individuals [20 men, 15 women, age: 24 ± 1 yr, body mass index (BMI): 27 ± 1 kg/m2], and were split using a median analysis into short-sleeping (SS; n = 17) and normal-sleeping (NS; n = 18) adults based on a minimum of 7 days of at-home actigraphy testing. All participants underwent a full overnight laboratory polysomnography (PSG) testing session, including continuous HR (electrocardiogram, ECG) sampling. HR reactivities to all spontaneous cortical arousals were assessed for 30 cardiac cycles following the onset of the arousal in all participants. Baseline HR was not significantly different between groups (P > 0.05). Spontaneous nocturnal arousal elicited an augmented HR response in the SS group, specifically during the recovery period [F(5.261,163.08) = 3.058, P = 0.01, ηp2 = 0.09]. There were no significant differences in HR reactivity between sexes [F(3.818,118.368) = 1.191, P = 0.318]. These findings offer evidence of nocturnal cardiovascular dysregulation in habitual short sleepers, independent from any diagnosed sleep disorders.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Short habitual sleep is associated with poor cardiovascular outcomes, but mechanisms remain equivocal. The present study used objectively measured habitual sleep via wrist actigraphy, and reports that habitual short sleepers have augmented heart rate recovery responses to spontaneous arousals as determined by gold-standard polysomnography. There were no reported sex differences. The augmented heart rate recovery to spontaneous cortical arousals may be an important mechanism contributing to the associations between insufficient sleep and cardiovascular risk.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES Binge alcohol consumption is associated with increased cardiovascular risk. The effects of evening binge alcohol consumption (i.e., 4-5 beverages within two hours) on the vagal components of HRV and cardiovagal baroreflex sensitivity (cvBRS) during sleep remain largely equivocal. The present study examined the effects of evening binge alcohol consumption on nocturnal cardiac vagal tone and baroreflex sensitivity during stage N2, slow wave (SWS), and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. We hypothesized that evening binge drinking would reduce HRV and cvBRS in each sleep stage. METHODS Following a familiarization night within the laboratory, twenty-three participants were examined following a night of binge alcohol consumption and a fluid control (randomized, crossover design). A quality nocturnal beat-to-beat blood pressure signal was obtained in both conditions in 16 participants (7 men, 9 women; 25±1 years). RESULTS Binge drinking reduced both the high frequency (HF) and time-domain components (i.e., pNN50 and RMSSD) of HRV in stage N2 sleep, SWS, and REM. In addition, cvBRS up-up (vagal activation) was reduced following binge alcohol consumption in stage N2 (21±3 vs. 15±3 ms/mmHg, P=0.035) and REM (15[11-28] vs. 11[9-18] ms/mmHg, P=0.009). Binge alcohol consumption reduced cvBRS down-down (vagal withdrawal) in stage N2 (23±2 vs. 14±2 ms/mmHg, P<0.001), SWS (20[14-30] vs. 14[9-17] ms/mmHg, P=0.022), and REM (14[11-24] vs. 10[7-15] ms/mmHg, P=0.006). CONCLUSIONS Evening binge alcohol consumption disrupts cardiac vagal tone and baroreflex function during nearly all sleep stages. These findings provide mechanistic insight into the potential role of binge drinking and alcohol abuse on cardiovascular risk.
