Brigham and Women's Hospital research links irregular sleep to a 34% higher risk of type 2 diabetes.

New research from Brigham and Women's Hospital links irregular sleep patterns to a 34% higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes. The study, which analyzed sleep patterns over seven nights in over 84,000 participants, found that individuals with inconsistent sleep durations had a heightened risk of diabetes compared to those with more consistent sleep patterns. This finding highlights the importance of regular sleep for diabetes prevention.
