Our study identified a modifiable lifestyle factor that can help lower the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, said Sina Kianersi, a research fellow in the Channing Division of Network Medicine at the Brigham. Our findings underscore the importance of consistent sleep patterns as a strategy to reduce type 2 diabetes, Kianersi added.
The researchers found that more irregular sleep duration was associated with higher diabetes risk after adjusting for a wide range of risk factors. Irregular sleep was defined as day-to-day sleep duration varying by more than 60 minutes on average.
