Mild sleep loss drives weight gain and chronic disease risk

A recent study from Columbia University found that just 90 minutes of sleep loss per night can significantly contribute to weight gain and increase the risk of chronic diseases like Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular issues. This small but consistent reduction in sleep over time can disrupt metabolic processes, leading to insulin resistance and the development of conditions like metabolic syndrome. Understanding the link between sleep deprivation and chronic health issues highlights the importance of prioritizing adequate rest for overall well-being.
