Even a slight lack of sleep can lead to serious health problems.. Even if a person lacks sleep for at least 30 minutes a day, this threatens the formation of insulin resistance and obesity..

Professor Shahrad Taheri of the Weill Cornell Medical College in Doha found a link between 30 minutes of sleep deprivation, sugar levels and being overweight.. The study involved more than 500 volunteers who were diagnosed with type 2 diabetes..

The experiment lasted for a week and during this time the volunteers, whose sleep lasted 30 minutes less than the norm, gained excess weight by the end of the week.. At the same time, the nutrition of all participants was the same..

Sleep-deprived people are 72% more likely to be overweight, according to experts.. And after six months of a regular daily deficit, people can develop obesity, which leads to insulin resistance..
