Beyond drowsy, too little sleep ups diabetes risk
Increased numbers of workers pull the night shift. Teenagers text past midnight and stumble to class at dawn. Travelers pack cheaper overnight flights.
Nodding off behind the wheel is not the only threat from a lack of sleep. Evidence is growing that people who regularly sleep too little and at the wrong time suffer long-lasting consequences that a nap will not cure: increased risk of diabetes, heart disease and other health problems.
Happy? Positive outlook may be good for your heart
Be happy - it seems to be good for your heart.
Scientists have long known that Type A personalities and people who are chronically angry, anxious or depressed have a higher risk of heart attacks.
Now a Harvard review of the flip side of that psychology concludes that being upbeat and optimistic just may help protect against heart disease.
