Lack of sleep increases the risk of diabetes

THIỆN NHÂN (T/H) |

Lack of sleep not only causes fatigue but also significantly increases the risk of type 2 diabetes.

In modern life, many people often sleep little because of work, study or living habits. However, lack of sleep not only makes the body tired but also increases the risk of many dangerous diseases, especially type 2 diabetes, according to Onlymyhealth.

The link between lack of sleep and diabetes

A major study from the University of Technology Sydney, which analyzed data from more than 240,000 adults over more than 10 years, found that:

Sleeping 5 hours a night increases the risk of type 2 diabetes by 16%.

Sleeping 34 hours a night increases the risk by 41% compared to people who sleep 78 hours.

It is noteworthy that this risk still exists even in people with a healthy diet, showing that sleep plays an independent and important role in health.

Reasons why lack of sleep can cause many health benefits

There are many mechanisms to explain this relationship:

Insulin resistance: Lack of sleep causes the body to use insulin ineffectively, increasing blood sugar levels.

Hormonal disorders: Insomnia affects the hormone that controls hunger, making you crave sweets and eat more.

Increased inflammation and visceral fat: Lack of sleep increases inflammation factors and fat accumulation around internal organs, a risk factor for diabetes.

Biorhyptic disorders: Insufficient sleep or sleep deprivation affects the body's biological clock, thereby disrupting sugar metabolism.

Tips to protect sleep health

To reduce the risk of diabetes and maintain good health, you should:

Get 78 hours of sleep each night.

Maintain a regular sleep schedule, go to bed and wake up at the same time every day.

Avoid using electronic devices before bed.

Keep your bedroom cool, dark and quiet.

Combine good sleep with a healthy diet and regular exercise.
