| Having a nap for more than an hour during the day could be a warning sign for type-2 diabetes, according to new research. Japanese researchers say they found the link from studies involving more than 300,000 people. Scientists at the University of Tokyo found there was a link between long daytime naps of more than 60 minutes and a 45 per cent increased risk of type-2 diabetes compared with no daytime napping. They said long naps could be a result of disturbed sleep, potentially caused by sleep apnoea, and that this could increase the risk of heart attacks and other disorders, including type-2 diabetes. | |
