When it comes to the causes of diabetes, most of us think of eating habits or weight control.
Below are 5 seemingly harmless sleeping habits that many people consider good but are silently leading to diabetes:
1. Sleep with the lights on
Many people have the habit of sleeping in rooms with lights, including night lights that are not too bright.
2. Napping too much
Napping more may seem like a good idea, but it’s also a harmful habit.
3. Often sleep late
Staying up late, especially going to bed after midnight, can increase your risk of diabetes.
4. Snoring when sleeping
Snoring is not only a sign of poor sleep quality, but it can also be a sign of sleep apnea.
5. Chronic lack of sleep
Chronic lack of sleep is one of the main causes of increased risk of diabetes.
Additionally, irregular sleep schedules and sleeping too much (more than 9 hours) – especially during the day – can also increase the risk of blood sugar disorders and diabetes.
