Fact control: Our process
The editorial staff of the Sleep Foundation is committed to providing content that meets the highest standards of accuracy and objectivity.Our editors and medical experts carefully assess each article and guide to ensure that the information is actually, updated and free of bias.
The guidelines for the Sleep Foundation Facts Control are as follows:
- We only mention renowned sources while we investigate our guides and articles.This includes peer-reviewed magazines, government reports, academic and medical associations and interviews with legitimized medical experts and practitioners.
- All scientific data and information must be supported by at least one renowned source.Each manual and item contains an extensive bibliography with full quotes and links to the original sources.
- Some guides and articles contain links to other relevant sleeping foundation.These internal links are intended to improve simple navigation on the site and never used as original sources of scientific data or information.
- A member of our medical expert team offers a final assessment of the content and sources that have been quoted for each guide, article and product review on medical and health -related topics.In contrast to or non -repairable information, it will be removed before publication.
- Plagiarism is never tolerated.Authorities and editors caught on and steal content or incorrect quotes, end immediately and we will work to correct the situation with the original publisher (s)
- Although the Sleep Foundation maintains connected partnerships with brands and e-commerce portals, these conditions never have any meaning for our product reviews or recommendations.Read us fullAdvertisem*nts for advertisem*ntsFor purely information.

- Does sleeping problems affect blood sugar levels?
Every night - whether you are sleeping - yourThe blood sugar level risesAs part of the natural human circadian rhythm cycle.The blood sugar level also rises during sleep.Blood sugar fluctuations that occur at night and during sleep are normal and no reason for concern for most healthy people.
Sleep also plays an important role inMaintaining a healthy blood sugar level.In the course of the last decades, the total average number of hours apparently fell every night.Falling asleep may have contributed to the increase in obesity and diabetesIt happened at the same time.Diminating and diabetes are influenced by blood sugar levels, while a person's blood sugar also influences obesity and diabetes.As a result, blood sugar levels can be one of the factors involvedWeight loss and sleep.
Sleep and physical healthIs closely connected, so it is not surprising that sleep influences blood sugar levels.However, the ratio between sleep and blood sugar is complex.However, there is no simple formula that shows a relationship between the amount of sleep and a similar increase or decrease in blood sugar levels.
Can sleep increase or lower glucose values?
Although it sounds contradictory, sleep can both increase and lower the glucose content.Our bodies experience a cycle of changes every day - called a circadian rhythm - that naturally increases blood sugar levels at night and when a person sleeps.Natural blood sugar heights are not a reason for concern.
Regorative sleep can also lower unhealthy blood sugar levels by promoting healthy systems.Pedied sleep is A risk factor Trusted National Library of Medicine, Biotech InformationThe National Center for Biotechnology Information promotes science and health by providing access to biomedical and genomic information.See sourceFor raised blood sugarLevels.Selel partial lack of sleep during one night increases insulin resistance, which in turn can increase blood sugar levels.As a resultLack of sleep is associated with diabetes, a blood sugar disorder.
More research is needed to better understand the relationship between sleep and blood sugar levels.Until the end it has been found that the following factors have influenced the relationship between sleep and blood sugar levels:
- Oftime -quantityOne person sleeps
- OfSleeping phasesA person experiences
- Oftime of day One person sleeps
- INpersonsthe
- In personsEating habits
Why does sleep affect blood sugar levels?
Researchers start to reveal why sleep influences blood sugar levels and which underlying mechanisms play.Until further they have learned that the following physiological factors play a role in the sleep and blood sugar relationship:
- Cortisol increases due to lack of sleep Trusted National Library of Medicine, Biotech InformationThe National Center for Biotechnology Information promotes science and health by providing access to biomedical and genomic information.See sourceand increases glucose
- Insulin sensitivity is reduced by lack of sleep and influences glucose
- The time of the day that a person sleeps influences insulin and cortisol levels, both of which influence glucose
- Increases of growth hormone accompanied by the increase in glucose during sleep
- Oxidative stress and inflammations increase due to lack of sleep and influence glucose
- C-reactive protein increases due to lack of sleep Trusted National Library of Medicine, Biotech InformationThe National Center for Biotechnology Information promotes science and health by providing access to biomedical and genomic information.See sourceand can influence glucose
- Inflammatory markers il-6 Trusted National Library of Medicine, Biotech InformationThe National Center for Biotechnology Information promotes science and health by providing access to biomedical and genomic information.See sourceIn TNF-Alfa is increasing due to lack of sleep Trusted National Library of Medicine, Biotech InformationThe National Center for Biotechnology Information promotes science and health by providing access to biomedical and genomic information.See sourceand can cause insulin resistance that influences glucose
How does blood glucose affect sleep?
Just as sleep influences blood sugar levels, blood sugar levels can also influence sleep quality.It thought a study of people with type 2 diabetes Those with higher blood sugar levels experience a worse sleep Trusted National Library of Medicine, Biotech InformationThe National Center for Biotechnology Information promotes science and health by providing access to biomedical and genomic information.See source.Another study found that 62% of people with glucose values in Prediabetes reach probably has a bad sleep Trusted National Library of Medicine, Biotech InformationThe National Center for Biotechnology Information promotes science and health by providing access to biomedical and genomic information.See sourceCompared to 46% of people with normal glucose values.
Researchers are not sure why increased blood sugar can be associated with poor sleep and more research is needed to understand the relationship.
Can low blood sugar levels cause sleeping problems?
Low blood sugar, called hypoglycaemia, can cause sleeping problems.Hypoglycaemia can occur in people with or without diabetes.Night hypoglycaemia is a form of hypoglycaemia that occurs at night.
According to National Institute for Diabetes and Digestion and Kidney Diseases Trusted National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK)NIDDK research creates knowledge and treatments of diseases that are among the most chronic, duration and accompanied by patients, their families and the nation.See source, low blood sugar levels during sleep can cause the following symptoms:
- Nightmares
- Crying or screaming during sleep
- Waved violent
- Feel irritable or confused about waking up
Does sleeping problems affect blood sugar levels?
Since a lack of sleep and blood sugar levels is related, it is logical that not sleeping can increase blood sugar levels.Scientists have proposed the following connections between sugar and lack of sleep or sleeping problems:
- Sleepingis associated with higher glucose levels
- Obstructive sleep apnea [/OCM_Rreferenceis associated with reduced glucosetolerance
- More serious problems with sleep breathingis associated with higher blood sugar
- Obstructive sleep apnea severityis associated with increased sober glucose
- Bad sleep is associated with a reduced oneAbility to control the glucose mirrorIn diabetes patients
- Is insufficient sleepassociated with type 2 -diabetes biomarkers, even in children
- Sleep loss is associated with an increased glucose content at patients admitted to the hospitalWith and without diabetes
