With the constant observation that chronically insufficient sleep is a causal factor in impairing blood glucose equilibrium. A factor if not resolved, often leads an individual down the path of metabolic disease and dysfunction.
Whether it be due to individual cell-types not responding to insulin, the hormone required to shuttle glucose into the cell, OR the dysfunction and failure of pancreatic beta cells, which are responsible for secreting insulin in the first place…
Either Way, Chronically Poor Sleep is a Straight-Up Longevity Nightmare…
Now, although research indicates that BOTH acute and chronic sleep restriction impair next-day glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity, and that the opposite happens following a night of high quality Zzz’s…
We continue to face a pretty glaring problem, We really Don’t Know Why… Or the exact mechanisms at play…
That is, until recent human and animal studies discovered some biological magic happening during DEEP SLEEP, which may have something to do with it…
