Re: My Sleep Study -- Sleep Disorders and HormonesFrom: jodi (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu, 28 Jun 2001 14:31:55 -0500 (CDT)
Ahhhhhh... neat & tidy cause and effect... 1st. I wonder how many of these chronic short sleepers get too little sleep due to job, school, family stress, whatever... and achieve this life with no sleep by downing lots of... caffeine? I'd really love to see a study on caffeine and insulin resistance... 2nd. This statement... "We know that certain patients with sleep disorders are obese and have a difficult time losing weight -- another sign of abnormalities in insulin metabolism," added Waldhorn... (from the article) HMMMMMMMMM. Lack of sleep makes you insulin resistant. Get more sleep to protect yourself. Fat people, who are insulin resistant, sleep less than non-IR people... WELL i'm gonna make a guess here... because i've never been so fat that laying flat was uncomfortable... but i have tried to sleep after eating a full meal. it's NOT comfortable to lay on your back, or stomach, or anywhichway, really... with a lot of food in your stomach. could it be... that being IR makes you fat... which makes laying down uncomfortable... which makes you get less sleep... so that IR = lack of sleep rather than lack of sleep = IR? Or that other factors than lack of sleep, but which are often assosciated with lack of sleep, lead to IR? i'm not saying this is IMPOSSIBLE... just find it curious that they don't seem to look at other possibilities. College has made me too damn analytical... - jodi
