Nocturnal people are more prone to diabetes

If you are bored in the morning but cheerful in the evening, then you are in the category of those who are called “night owls”.
These people, who stay up late at night according to their sleep patterns, are more at risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
According to a Harvard University researcher, people who sleep late at night are 72% more likely to develop diabetes than other people.
Researchers have also found connections between people’s sleep patterns and inappropriate life habits.
According to them, “These people probably have a poor diet, lack physical activity, use high percentages of alcohol, are overweight, smoke, and sleep more or less than seven to nine hours a night.” »
Experts say, “those who sleep late at night, should know that by eliminating the consumption of alcohol and smoking, as well as having high physical activity, they can reduce the risk of diabetes to some extent.”

What is the body clock or so-called “chronotype”?

All humans have an internal body clock or circadian rhythm that causes the release of a hormone called melatonin. This hormone helps to improve sleep time regulation. The biological sleep clock of people seems to be inherited, however, it can be changed with a little effort.
If you go to bed early at night and wake up early in the morning, your body releases melatonin very early and makes you feel refreshed, but if you sleep late, melatonin is also released later in your body. So these people are tired and bored in the morning and their energy peak is more in the evenings.
The cells of the body have a circadian rhythm and if their rhythm is disturbed, it causes a disturbance in the body’s functioning.
According to researchers, waking up at night causes a change in the release of hormones, which causes a change in body temperature and metabolism. Therefore, the risk of diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and other diseases increases.
This is not the first research that proves the relationship between sleep time and unhealthy habits, but an article published in June also showed that those who sleep late at night and are busy with work and activities die earlier than other people.
