How sleep affects glucose
Sleep deficiency is linked to an increased risk of type 2 diabetes (NHLBI). After short nights, many people find they are hungrier and crave sugary, starchy food. See sugar cravings.
How much sleep you need
CDC recommends 7 or more hours a night for adults (CDC); NHLBI gives the same range (NHLBI).
