Abstract

A human being spends on average 28 years of his life sleeping. The role of sleep remains obscure but the consequences of its deprivation on the health is of growing interest. It appears that sleep deprivation is associated with certain conditions related to food (obesity and diabetes) by altering metabolism, energy expenditure and food intake. The changes caused by our modern lifestyles could explain, at least in part, the pandemic of obesity. Conversely, a poor diet along with weight problems affecting the quality of sleep.

Sleep is composed of 3 to 5 cycles each lasting 90 minutes and alternating between phase of slow sleep and REM sleep. It is regulated in complex ways, both by neurons (neurotransmitter) and hormones. While we sleep, several physiological changes occur: muscle and blood vessels dilate, heart rate and breathing are slow, body temperature decreases (about 1°C) and many hormones are secreted such as the growth hormone (GH). The true function of sleep is still not identified despite the general idea is that it allows the body to rest.

[...] These requirements are based on the health of the individual at the time of HIV infection, progression of the disease and complications associated with it. For example, the energy and protein intake should be increased in case of fever. It was also observed that resting energy expenditure were proportional to the number of circulating viral particles. The risk of protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) are very important in individuals infected with HIV. Early weight loss was fat but then it is mainly muscle mass decline. [...]

[...] Energy and the sleep-wake cycle Sleep deprivation is accompanied by an increase in theory, light (on average depending on the physical activity of the individual), and energy expenditure. Sleep and nutrition are two distinct behaviors. Periods of food shortage are accompanied by an increase in alertness, arousal period longer likely to optimize foraging and energy conservation. On the other hand, sleep deprivation induced a significant elevation of energy expenditure and weight loss. However, it appears that people do not sleep enough are on average less active than those who had their account of sleep, thus leading to a "consumption" of lower energy. [...]

[...] Nutritional recommendations As AIDS has different symptoms depending on the stage of disease, infections that patients contracted and its response to treatment, it is difficult to establish a comprehensive plan tailored to each individual. However, here are tables showing various schemes recommended based on symptoms and phases of the disease. This is a help, I would recommend you to consult a dietitian (not) (if not already . ) and / or follow the advice of your doctor so that he or she will prescribe the most suitable plan for you.

[...] Of insufficient oxygen supply may have dangerous effects on the heart, respiratory and brain resulting in the emergence of cardiovascular disease (hypertension, heart failure, myocardial infarction and angina pectoris), stroke, respiratory disorders or neuropsychiatric conditions. It is particularly recommended for patients with SAS to lose weight by adjusting their diet and / or practicing regular physical activity, and limit their consumption of alcohol, coffee and sleeping pills. Adiponectin and circadian rhythm disorders The results of the study conducted on mice by Dr. [...]
