Compared to people who slept the recommended seven/eight hours per night, folks who habitually slept five hours per night had a 16% higher odds for the blood sugar illness Even if short sleepers ate a healthy diet, they still showed the same rise in risk for diabetes Tracking participants for over a decade, Benedict’s group found little difference in diabetes risk for people who got six hours of sleep per night (versus seven or eight). However, vulnerabilities began to appear for people who slept less than six hours. The study was not designed to prove cause and effect, and Benedict also stressed that diabetes is not a given for short sleepers Those who got only three to four hours of shuteye faced a 41% higher risk. Are you typically getting only a few hours sleep each night Besides leaving you groggy all day, your insomnia could also be raising your odds for Type 2 diabetes, new research shows.
