There are many benefits of going to bed early and they are not limited to waking up refreshed the next morning. Getting to sleep early may lead to better weight loss outcomes in patients at risk of developing diabetes, a new study has found.
According to a report by NDTV, research findings show that sleep duration and quality, as well as bedtime, can play an important role in controlling weight and improving metabolism. Researchers believe that changing sleep patterns can be a useful adjunct to other lifestyle changes to prevent diabetes.
The study, published in the journal Nursing Research, looked at nearly 200 adults with pre-diabetes who slept less than six and a half hours each night. Researchers found that participants who went to bed relatively early had better weight loss results over eight weeks. Although there was no improvement in blood sugar levels, it did show that bedtime may have an effect on weight control.
Research also suggests that going to bed early can also help reduce late night eating habits.
Researchers randomly divided nearly 200 adults with prediabetes into two groups. Both groups participated in an eight-week program, which focused on managing stress through a healthy diet, physical activity and weekly video calls. However, one group was also provided with additional sleep guidance.
