A United States research study preformed in March of 2009 tested the lack of sleep to health. It is proven that Americans average night sleep have decreased over the years, but the question is to what risk is this for our bodies.
The study proved, for those who received less then six hours a sleep a night had higher blood sugar levels. The higher levels of blood sugar could result in future diabetes for type two victims. Those with the lower average sleep patterns were 4.5 times more at risk for developing diabetes.
In children the risks of lack of sleep increase. Resent studies show children who receive less then six hours a sleep a night could be at risk for depression, obesity and high blood pressure.
In order to avoid these dangers, specialists recommend the average American adult to get seven to nine hours of sleep a night.
