A study published Wednesday shows that even if only one night of insomnia, the functions of insulin regulation of blood sugar may be damaged, which may explain why the increase in the number of diabetic patients.
The researchers said the study shows that people in Western countries over the past decade, while a general reduction in sleep time, "insulin resistance" and adult cases of diabetes has also increased, perhaps not a coincidence.
Researcher, Leiden University Medical Center Director Esther Donga, said: "Our research shows that sleep time is short on the metabolism of greater than previous estimates."
Prior research shows that a few nights sleep may lead to impaired insulin function, but the Donga, said the new study with insulin-related is the first night sleep for only one case.
Scientists studied nine healthy adults sleep eight hours a night and four hours of sleep a night, in both cases the physical condition.
This was published in "Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism" ((JCEM)) study shows that even if only one night of sleep time is reduced, some types of insulin sensitivity would drop by 19% to 25%.
Experts say adults usually need 7-9 hours of sleep.
