Participants with prediabetes lost weight faster after falling asleep
A study from New York University found that falling asleep earlier, rather than sleeping longer, is a key factor for weight loss and metabolic health. Participants with prediabetes showed this connection between early sleep onset and improved outcomes.
- Field
- nutrition and supplements
- What they did
- Researchers from New York University found a link between the time people fall asleep and weight loss, rather than the total hours of sleep. Scientists discovered that the moment of falling asleep is a more significant factor for metabolic health than previously recognized.
- Why it matters
- This finding can help people optimize their sleep schedule to improve weight management and reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, particularly for those at high risk.
