There have been several studies recently that link sleep deprivation
with an increased risk of developing diabetes, obesity, heart
disease and cancer.
That’s rather scary when you consider 3.5 million Americans suffer
from insomnia.
With regard to the obesity cases, researchers have found that even
mild sleep deprivation can disrupt the hormones ghrelin and leptin
that regulate appetite. Sleep deprivation may also increase
substances in the blood that indicate increased inflammation which
is associated with diseases like colon cancer, breast cancer, heart
disease and diabetes.
