Sleeping Too Little – or Too Much – Associated with Heart Disease, Diabetes, Obesity
A recent study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has established a link between little sleep and excessive sleep to chronic diseases in people of 45 years of age and above. Some of the chronic health conditions are obesity, diabetes, heart disease and anxiety. These problems are seen alongside the common sleep problems such as snoring, sleep apnoea and insomnia.
According to Dr. Badr, president of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM), adults should strive to sleep for 7-9 hours every night to benefit from sleep. He further recommends that people suffering from any of the chronic health conditions go to see a medical practitioner who can evaluate their sleep patterns.
