2. Diabetes Patients with type 2 diabetes who sleep less at night have a level of 9 percent higher glucose, insulin levels 30 percent higher and insulin resistance rates 43 percent higher.
Diabetic patients with insomnia even worse condition, glucose levels can be 23 percent higher, rate 48 percent higher insulin and insulin resistance rates 82 percent higher than diabetics who do not have the insomnia.
3. Breast Cancer Women who slept less than 6 hours a night have an increased risk of breast cancer 62 percent higher, while those who slept less than 9 hours a night have a 28 percent lower risk.
4. Urinary problems / urinating Too little sleep time in five years (less than 5 hours a night) can increase the risk of a woman's need to wake up at night and urinate (nocturia) up to 80-90 percent.
As many as 42 percent of women classified more restless sleep compared with 34 percent of men. Researchers also theorize that the lack of sleep lead to inflammation that can lead to urinary problems.
