Energy balance
Sleep stages are associated with only small differences in energy metabolism.
While sleep stages affect metabolism, their impact is limited, suggesting other factors may be more significant.
StrongQualifiesmedium confidence
Because sleep stages are associated with only small differences in energy metabolism, our results suggest that sleep stages play a minor role in the variance of SMR among subjects.
