Naps Longer Than One Hour Linked To Type 2 Diabetes Risk.

reports University of Tokyo researchers’ meta-analysis of “more than 300,000 people included in 21 published studies” found people who napped for at least 60 minutes a day were 45 percent more likely to develop type 2 diabetes compared to those who napped for less than an hour or not at all. The study concluded “further studies are needed to confirm the efficacy of a short nap.” The study’s results were “presented Wednesday at the European Association for the Study of Diabetes meeting in Munich, Germany.” http://www.bbc.com/news/health-37362341
