Lack Of Sleep Effects Your Blood Sugar

There is a study out on sleep effects published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, that says lack of quality sleep effects the body’s blood sugar regulation system. It looks like you can make yourself pre-diabetic by not getting enough deep, slow-wave sleep for only three nights in a row.

Diabetes and sleep

The study found that only three consecutive nights without adequate deep sleep had the same effects on blood sugar and insulin activity as gaining 30 pounds, or as multiplying a 20-something person’s age by three. Being overweight has dramatic effects on insulin action in the body, reducing its ability to move sugars out of the bloodstream and into the cells to be burned for energy a condition known as insulin resistance.

Growing older also hampers the body’s ability to effectively clear glucose from the bloodstream. Both overweight and being over 60 increase risk of Type 2 diabetes, the end result when insulin stops working well enough to prevent blood sugar levels from staying chronically high. Insulin resistance is both a result of and a cause of unwanted weight gain and a direct predecessor of Type 2 diabetes.

Obesity and lack of sleep

Research into the relationship between lack of good sleep and risk of obesity and chronic disease has been increasing in recent years. Studies have already found that inadequate sleep brings stronger cravings for sweets and higher likelihood of obesity. This study, performed at the University of Chicago Medical Center, establishes the first solid link between lack of deep, slow-wave sleep to higher risk of diabetes.

Do problems with not getting enough good deep sleep explain the rising risk of insulin resistance and Type 2 diabetes with us as we age? Probably not completely, but it would seem that ensuring a great night’s sleep on most nights would help to prevent these conditions.
