Long Naps Linked To Diabetes, University of Tokyo Study
A study presented at a scientific congress Thursday reported a link between long naps and a higher risk of diabetes, though it couldn't say if daytime sleeping was a symptom or a cause.
People who slept more than an hour each day were 45 percent more likely to develop type 2 diabetes, a debilitating condition associated with overweight and a sedentary lifestyle, the study found.
Individuals with diabetes are unable to naturally regulate their blood sugar levels.
