The siesta in the afternoon increases the risk of diabetes mellitus type 2, announce the scholars of the University of Birmingham (Great Britain).
Having conducted a wide search of 16 thousand people involved, scientists have concluded: napping increases the risk of type 2 diabetes by 26%.
Scientists have two versions of the evolution of events: it may be that sleep during the afternoon shortens its duration during the night which is itself a risk factor for diabetes.
It is also possible that during recovery hormones that lower insulin levels, are activated. "Although sleep increases the risk of diabetes, poor heredity and obesity contribute much more," the scientists explain.
With this, we will continue looking for the negative effect of sleep in the afternoon with the exchange of sugar.
