metformin and Sleep Wake Disorders

metformin has been researched along with Sleep Wake Disorders in 6 studies

Metformin: A biguanide hypoglycemic agent used in the treatment of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus not responding to dietary modification. Metformin improves glycemic control by improving insulin sensitivity and decreasing intestinal absorption of glucose. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p289)
metformin : A member of the class of guanidines that is biguanide the carrying two methyl substituents at position 1.

Sleep Wake Disorders: Abnormal sleep-wake schedule or pattern associated with the CIRCADIAN RHYTHM which affect the length, timing, and/or rigidity of the sleep-wake cycle relative to the day-night cycle.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Metformin administration resulted in significant decrease in the body weight, body mass index, hirsutism score, fasting and postprandial blood glucose, fasting serum insulin, HOMA index, sleep disturbances scale, and Epworth sleepiness scale compared to the untreated PCOS group."7.80Effect of metformin on sleep disorders in adolescent girls with polycystic ovarian syndrome. ( Abdelmotaleb, GS; Aly, MK; El-Sharkawy, AA; Kabel, AM, 2014)
"The purpose of this manuscript is to review the evidence generated by clinical trials of pharmaceuticals in autism spectrum disorder (ASD), describe challenges in the conduct of such trials, and discuss future directions RECENT FINDINGS: Clinical trials in ASD have produced several compounds to adequately support the pharmacological treatment of associated symptom domains: attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (methylphenidate, atomoxetine, and alpha agonists), irritability/aggression (risperidone and aripiprazole), sleep (melatonin), and weight gain associated with atypical antipsychotic use (metformin)."4.98Clinical trials in autism spectrum disorder: evidence, challenges and future directions. ( Anagnostou, E, 2018)
"Metformin administration resulted in significant decrease in the body weight, body mass index, hirsutism score, fasting and postprandial blood glucose, fasting serum insulin, HOMA index, sleep disturbances scale, and Epworth sleepiness scale compared to the untreated PCOS group."3.80Effect of metformin on sleep disorders in adolescent girls with polycystic ovarian syndrome. ( Abdelmotaleb, GS; Aly, MK; El-Sharkawy, AA; Kabel, AM, 2014)
"Given that sleep disorders are known to be related to insulin resistance, and metformin has favourable effects on insulin resistance and on ventilatory drive, we sought to determine whether metformin therapy was related to sleep variables in a group of patients with Type 2 diabetes."1.40The relationship between metformin therapy and sleep quantity and quality in patients with Type 2 diabetes referred for potential sleep disorders.
