Summary
This study looked at whether sleeping longer can improve how the body processes sugar in people with obesity. About 30 participants who slept less than 7 hours a night were split into two groups: one tried to sleep more, the other kept their usual habits. Researchers measured changes in insulin sensitivity to see if extra sleep made a difference.
