Medical Sleep is important: it stimulates your concentration and reaction time, it is important for the recovery of the brain and gives you energy. Who to little or sleeps poorly, runs a higher risk of obesity and diabetes. And unfortunately that sleep deprivation is not quickly being overtaken, not even during the weekends. That according to new research at the University of Colorado Boulder in the US.
To get to that conclusion to get distributed to the research team a group of healthy volunteers in two. Both groups had brute bad luck, and were allowed a maximum of five hours per night sleep. One group was allowed during the weekend, then again what bijslapen, while the second group even early on Sunday from the springs had. the
And although the volunteers of the first group during the weekend, maybe a little better mood, she experienced ultimately have the same negative effects, due to the sleep deprivation. Already at the first group less unhealthy during the weekends because they are longer slept, they ate on weekdays, again the snacks which their weight increased. The final result was a similar weight gain in both groups.

in Addition, the insulin sensitivity of the volunteers tested. That depends, after all, along with the risk of diabetes. Insulin is the hormone that your blood sugar checks. The greater the insulin sensitivity, the faster and better the blood sugar to go down when you, for example, a sugary drink or dessert to eat.
from nine nights in a row only five hours sleep, decreased insulin sensitivity by up to 13 percent, so there’s a greater chance of type 2 diabetes. Longer sleep at the weekend, and returned the effect of this time not to. On the contrary: after the weekend, decreased insulin sensitivity another 9 to even 27 per cent extra. That proved to be the (unfortunate) test subjects of the first group.
to emphasize once more the authors the importance of sleep. Bijslapen only makes sense if you are short bad sleep, but, on average, suggest the researchers as a seven hour sleep.
