Inadequate Sleep Increases Likelihood of Diabetes

Mon, 04 Apr 2011
The correct amount of sleep varies of course between individuals and over one's lifetime.

Nonetheless, eight or nine hours of sleep per night is considered adequate. Sleep also plays an important role during certain phases on one's life.

New Australian research shows how astray sleep has gone amongst its teenagers and youth.

In times gone past people awoke when it was light and slept when it got dark.

However, electricity, indoor heating and technology have severely interfered with our natural biology. We are now able to sleep when we wish and get up when we wish, in many cases working against our natural bio rhythms.

For good health, we need to ensure that we get tired during the day and thus sleep well at night.

Exercise and keeping active during the day are both essential.

By not getting enough sleep you are placing your self at the risk of depression . In addition, you could get fatter and increase the likelihood of developing diabetes .
