A study has found that patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) experience fragmented nocturnal sleep, characterized by frequent awakenings and increased wakefulness after sleep onset. This sleep disruption may play a role in MASLD development, although the causal relationship remains unclear. Despite receiving sleep hygiene education, patients did not show improved sleep parameters, suggesting the need for further interventions like light therapy. The study used 24/7 actigraphy to objectively measure sleep patterns, revealing significant differences between MASLD patients and healthy controls.
