<jats:sec> <jats:title>Purpose</jats:title> <jats:p>To examine the association between sleep duration and metabolic syndrome (MetS) prevalence in U.S. adults.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Design</jats:title> <jats:p>Cross-sectional analysis of National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Setting</jats:title> <jats:p>United States.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Sample</jats:title> <jats:p>14 982 adults (≥18 years) from 7 NHANES cycles (2005-2020) with complete data on sleep, MetS components, and covariates.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Measures</jats:title> <jats:p>Self-reported sleep duration (short: &lt;7 h, normal: 7-9 h, long: &gt;9 h). MetS was defined by NCEP ATP III criteria. Covariates included age, sex, race/ethnicity, sedentary time, and smoking.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Analysis</jats:title> <jats:p>Survey-weighted logistic regression modeled sleep as continuous linear and quadratic terms. Sensitivity analyses included restricted cubic splines and component-wise assessment.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Results</jats:title> <jats:p> A U-shaped association was observed between sleep duration and MetS. Compared with normal sleep, both short (&lt;7 h) and long (&gt;9 h) sleep were associated with higher odds of MetS in fully adjusted models. Linear (OR = 0.68, 95% CI: 0.56-0.82) and quadratic (OR = 1.03, 95% CI: 1.01-1.04) terms confirmed nonlinearity ( <jats:italic toggle="yes">P</jats:italic> &lt; 0.001). The model-derived sleep duration associated with the lowest predicted odds of MetS was 7.52 h/night (95% CI: 6.81-8.24 h). Age, sedentary time, and smoking independently increased MetS risk. The U-shaped pattern persisted across most individual MetS components and was supported by spline analyses. </jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Conclusion</jats:title> <jats:p>Both short and long sleep durations were significantly associated with higher odds of metabolic syndrome, highlighting sleep duration as a potential indicator for cardiometabolic risk screening.</jats:p> </jats:sec>
