Sleep duration linked to diabetic kidney risk
A Japanese study links increased sleep duration in people with type 2 diabetes to a higher risk of diabetic kidney disease. The study found that sleeping more than 8 hours significantly raises the likelihood of disease progression, especially among the elderly or those with a history of kidney problems, with the risk doubling compared to individuals who sleep less than 6 hours. The findings emphasize the importance of monitoring sleep duration as an indicator to identify diabetic patients who require intensive kidney care. However, the study does not suggest that reducing sleep hours is advisable.
