The aim of this secondary analysis was to compare the effects of time-restricted eating (TRE) versus calorie restriction (CR) and controls on sleep in adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Adults with T2D (n = 75) were randomized to 1 of 3 interventions for 6 months: 8 h TRE (eating only between 12 and 8 pm daily); CR (25% energy restriction daily); or control. Our results show that TRE has no effect on sleep quality, duration, insomnia severity, or risk of obstructive sleep apnea, relative to CR and controls, in patients with T2D over 6 months.
