decreased sleep
Reduced nightly slumber
Decreased sleep refers to getting less sleep than usual or less than needed—whether from insomnia, lifestyle choices, or external demands.
The phrase appears often in medical and research contexts: Decreased sleep is associated with cognitive impairment.
It describes a state rather than a disorder, though persistent decreased sleep may indicate or cause health problems.
