Sleep and Blood Glucose

Sleep is a very important variable in health and recovery.

So much that sleep should be apart of any high level rehab plan.

This study shows how decreased sleep duration and/or going to bed late disrupts blood glucose levels.

…which can then lead to disruption in energy and performance levels.

In this cohort study of 1156 participants aged 46 to 83, the trajectories of long-term insufficient sleep duration and persistent late sleep onset, whether alone or in combination, were associated with greater fluctuations in blood glucose levels as monitored by continuous glucose monitoring.”
