A new research suggests that it can be dangerous for a diabetic to take a nap during the day time. The researchers from the university of Tokyo analyzed ten studies from the countries all over the world which included data on 261,365 participants. They found that 56% higher risk of getting type two diabetes is linked to excessive daytime sleepiness.
Yes, it is true that sleep is an important component of a healthy life but the new research shows that it is not good for the diabetic people. A longer daytime nap of 60 minutes or more can increase the risk of diabetes till 46%. The analysis also showed that taking 40 minutes of nap per day did not increase the risk of diabetes. Sleep is a blissful experience so rather than taking nap in day time we should take a good night's sleep. The researchers conclude that sleep disorders may contribute to exhaustion throughout the day, which in turn may add to diabetes risk. Diabetes is a condition where the body is unable to effectively break down blood sugar levels, it can also lead to heart disease, kidney failure and blindness. Daytime napping might be a consequence of night-time sleep disturbances such as obstructive sleep apnea, showed by some of the researchers. “Epidemiological studies have shown that obstructive sleep apnea is directly linked to blockages of heart problems, stroke, fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular events, and all-cause mortality.
