Lack of Sleep = Diabetes

A recent study indicates that at least three days worth of lack of sleep can increase a person's risk for diabetes.  It also can lead to weight gain.  People used in the study were not able to process sugar and their metabolism slowed down after three days of poor sleep.  When people get older, it gets harder to go to sleep at night and get the required sleep.

It always looks like there is a down side to Sleep Apnea.
