You left out the next part of your first quote:
> More than two dozen epidemiological studies from around the globe looking at sleep deprivation and BMI in humans have shown association between decreased obesity and an increase in sleep duration. These studies however do not establish a causal relationship.
The paper also mentions and agrees with who you were responding to:
> In summary, energy expenditure is reduced during sleep. Sleep deprivation appears to increase energy expenditure.
And finally in the conclusion:
> Paradoxically a similar U-shaped relation is also noted in several studies looking at the relationship between sleep and weight, with both short and long sleep leading to weight gain.
I may have missed it, but it doesn't appear a causal relationship was ever formed between metabolic dysregluation from sleep issues and weight gain. And since both less and more sleep were associated with weight gain, is sleep or the lack thereof just another symptom of stress and depression? Both of which often cause people to eat more.
