A recent study classified sleep habits into four categories and found that certain patterns increase the risk of diabetes and cancer. This is a report from the New York Post, an American media outlet, based on information published in the academic journal Psychosomatic Medicine.
A research team from Penn State University in the US conducted a 10-year follow-up study of chronic health conditions according to sleep habits using data from around 3,700 people. The research team identified four sleep habits of the participants.
Participants were divided into those who had good sleep habits, slept a lot on weekends, suffered from insomnia or took naps. More than half were found to suffer from insomnia or take frequent naps. The research team analyzed that neither type is an optimal sleep pattern.
Specifically, those who suffered from insomnia for 10 years were 72-188% more likely to suffer from cardiovascular disease, diabetes, depression and frailty. People who like to nap also had a higher risk of diabetes, cancer and aging. On the other hand, weekend sleep habits were found to be unrelated to chronic disease.
The research team analyzed that people with a relatively low level of education and those at risk of unemployment are more likely to suffer from insomnia, while the elderly and pensioners are more likely to take a nap. The research team said: “Sleep patterns are difficult to change because they are linked to our general lifestyle,” but added: “It is important to make efforts to improve the quality of sleep, for example by avoiding using mobile phones in bed and consuming caffeine late at night. the day.”
Meanwhile, insomnia is a sleep disorder that takes more than 30 minutes to fall asleep or wakes up frequently during sleep. If you wake up more than 5 times during sleep and your total sleep time is less than 6 hours, you may be suffering from insomnia. Insomnia is common in Korea, accounting for 1 in 3 adults, but should not be ignored. It is best to receive a prescription tailored to each individual, taking into account the individual’s insomnia symptoms, biological rhythm and work environment.
It is also important to ensure 7 to 8 hours of sleep per day. Sleep is a time when not only the brain but also the muscles rest. When you lack sleep, the frontal lobe and amygdala become hypersensitive to external stimuli, making it difficult to control emotions. Serotonin secretion decreases, making you vulnerable to stress.
