Extra sleep could be a simple fix for blood sugar problems
NCT ID NCT03594994
Summary
This study tested whether simply sleeping longer could improve the body's ability to use sugar (glucose) in people with obesity. Researchers asked half of the 31 participants to increase their time in bed to get more than 7 hours of sleep per night, while the other half kept their usual sleep habits. They measured how sensitive the body was to insulin, a key hormone for blood sugar control, before and after the sleep changes.
