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.

A study published in Frontiers in Network Physiology reveals that patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) experience significant sleep-wake rhythm disruptions, including increased nighttime awakenings and daytime sleep, compared to healthy individuals. Using actigraphy, researchers found that MASLD patients had fragmented sleep, which may contribute to the disease's progression. Despite attempts to improve sleep through hygiene education, no significant improvements were observed, suggesting the need for more comprehensive interventions.
