A study found that longer weekend sleep duration was associated with reduced estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) levels, regardless of weekday sleep duration. Data from the NHANES survey was used to assess the relationship between kidney function and sleep duration. Individuals with shorter weekday sleep but longer weekend sleep had the lowest eGFR levels. Maintaining a regular sleep schedule between weekdays and weekends was deemed important for kidney health. The study highlighted the need for further research on the potential mediators of long weekend sleep duration and chronic kidney disease. Some limitations include reliance on survey data and not assessing dietary factors or medications.
