Earlier sleep tied to weight loss in people with prediabetes
A study found that people with prediabetes who went to bed earlier lost more weight, even if they didn't sleep longer. The research involved a lifestyle program with or without sleep coaching. Both groups improved their sleep and lost weight, but the sleep group had better results in sleep quality and timing.
A study showed that going to bed earlier helped people with prediabetes lose more weight, even if they didn't sleep longer. Participants in a lifestyle program with sleep coaching had better sleep and more weight loss than those without the sleep component.
The findings suggest that adjusting sleep timing could be a useful strategy for managing weight and metabolic health, especially for people at risk of diabetes. This could lead to new approaches in diabetes prevention and weight management.
The study highlights a practical and accessible way for people to improve their health by adjusting their sleep habits, offering a simple and actionable step toward better well-being.
