Unlocking the Diabetes Sleep Window: 7 Hours 19 Minutes
TL;DR Summary
A study of more than 10,000 adults links a nightly sleep of 7.32 hours (7 hours 19 minutes) with lower insulin resistance and diabetes risk. Sleeping significantly less or more than this duration may raise risk, with effects varying by sex and age. Weekend catch-up sleep helps only for those with weekday sleep debt (about 1–2 hours); for others, extra weekend sleep can worsen risk. Findings support personalized sleep guidance as a key part of diabetes prevention.
