My post above is based on regular anecdotes. I have a couple successful personal trainers in my family, and this is some of the most fundamental advice they provide.
For those interested in the relationship between sleep and metabolism:
This is an interesting topic to explore, so if you find any additional papers that substantiate or refute some of the advice, please feel free to share. I will also conduct further research.
Thanks for the reference. The article that you linked reviews some primary research articles and is helpful. From this article, it appears to me that sleep deprivation leads to, if anything, hyperglycemia, not quite what one would expect if they were truly over-expending calories:
"The rate of glucose clearance during the initial phase of the test (glucose tolerance; KG) was 40% lower, glucose effectiveness (SG), a measure of non-insulin dependent glucose disposal, was 30% lower, and the acute insulin response to glucose (AIRG) was also 30% lower."
