Several diseases caused by sleeping less than 5 hours a day

summary

Although research shows that the human body is how many hours of sleep a day is considered healthy. But in our life, we often can't reach the healthy sleep time every day. Sometimes it's not rare that we can't get enough sleep. We don't care how many hours we sleep every day. Especially for some young people, they think that if we don't get enough sleep, we can make up for it next time. However, if we often get enough sleep, some diseases will be ignored. Let's take a look at the following.

Several diseases caused by sleeping less than 5 hours a day

First: cardiovascular disease in an article published in sleep, researchers from the University of West Virginia School of medicine reviewed data from 30397 participants in the 2005 national health interview study. They found that people who slept less than seven hours a night had an increased risk of heart disease. Women under the age of 60, in particular, who sleep less than five hours a night, tripled their risk of heart disease.

Second: according to a study published in the journal Diabetes in 2011, researchers from the University of Chicago and Northwestern University found that if people with type 2 diabetes don't sleep well at night, their fasting blood glucose level is 9% higher, fasting insulin level is 30% higher, and insulin resistance level is 43% higher. Diabetic patients with insomnia were worse off, with 23% higher fasting blood glucose, 48% higher fasting insulin and 82% higher insulin resistance than diabetic patients without insomnia.

Third: breast cancer researchers from the Medical Research Institute of Tohoku University in Japan studied the data of nearly 24000 women aged between 40 and 79, and found that those who sleep less than 6 hours a night have a 62% higher risk of breast cancer, while those who sleep more than 9 hours a night have a 28% lower risk of breast cancer.

matters needing attention

At the May 2011 meeting of the American Urological Association, researchers from the New England Institute reviewed data from 4145 middle-aged men and women and found the following information: women with poor sleep or insufficient sleep (less than 5 hours per night) within five years have an 80% - 90% increased risk of getting up late (enuresis) or incontinence. Forty two percent of women classified themselves as having trouble sleeping, and 34 percent of men as having trouble sleeping. Researchers speculate that lack of sleep can cause inflammation, which can lead to some urinary problems.
