Extended naps linked to diabetes risk
A Japanese study has revealed that long naps exceeding one hour daily increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by up to 45%, particularly when naps last more than 60 minutes. In contrast, naps shorter than 40 minutes do not elevate this risk. The study confirmed that there is no statistical relationship between nap duration and obesity. Experts emphasized that these findings require further research to understand the relationship more precisely, noting that the possible connection could be causal in the opposite direction—that is, long naps may be a result of an underlying, undiagnosed illness.
