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."
