How many of us know that sleeping for more than ten hours or less than six hours a day can lead to serious heart diseases or other related syndromes? Interestingly, women who are in the habit of sleeping for more than 10 hours have higher waist circumferences.
After years of research, it is proved that oversleep can lead to high triglyceride levels, high fasting blood sugar, elevated waist circumference, and many such related diseases. Sleep disorders can happen due to family history, diet, lifestyle, medication, medical history etc.
To be honest, the connection between the metabolic syndrome and the sleep duration is still blurred but the fact is that, elevated hormone level can lead to several diseases including heart attack and stroke for many.
