what are the bad effects of sleeping too much? is sleeping too much a sign of diabetes/other serious illness?

Question

My sleeping habit is really not normal. Most of the time I sleep late midnight at around 2 a.m. and wake up early in the morning for my class. Because of this, I usually sleep upon arriving home every afternoon and wake up at night around 10 p.m. to eat, study and do other stuffs. After doing those things, I will sleep at around 2 a.m. One more thing, I'm into eating sweets, i just wonder if that is one reason of my problem.

Answer 1

If you eat a lot of carbs or sweets, your sugar level goes up and will make you sleepy. That's why a lot of people get sleepy after a heavy lunch. But if you have to go to sleep, your sugar is way too high. Too much sweets is bad for anyone and if you think it could be part of your problem, it probably is. Bad habits like this turn prediabetics into full blown diabetes and then it's bad and all downhill. Go get a check up and tell them you need your sugar tested. They will ask you to be fasting but the trick about testing for hig blood sugar is that your sugar should return to normal two hours after eating. If it doesn't, you're in trouble. Bad habits when you're young are always paid for later. I know. . .

Answer 3

I'm a 45 year old woman and was recently diagnosed as being a borderline diabetic. My doctor prescribed some medication, but before filling it I decided to do some research on the internet which led me to the methods. After reading this ebook and applying the methods, my scepticism turned to 100% belief. I noticed that my energy levels increased significantly and I felt more rested in the morning, my symptoms started going away.

I am very happy to tell you that I have been feeling better than I have felt in years and my doctor informed me that he will be taking me off my prescriptions if I keep this up.

I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

I don't think it has anything to do with diabetes.You need to get on a good sleep pattern,like not napping in the afternoon,and not going to bed @ 2am. When you begin to feel sleepy in the afternoon do something,like use the computer,do some homework,talk on the phone,don't eat. Go to bed about 10pm and try to sleep thru the nite.I also have a horrible sleep pattern now since I'm retired,but when I was in college and working and had to be up by 5:30 am I went to bed at 10pm and slept until the alarm went off. Now I go to bed about 3:30 am and sleep till 12noon or later,but what the heck,my life is my own I could sleep all day if I wanted to.

Answer 5

I was curious about this, because although fatigue can be a symptom of diabetes, it can be a symptom of all sorts of other things. Likewise, liking sweets doesn't mean you are or aren't a diabetic - it just means you like sweets.

That said, here's the ADA list of diabetic symptoms:

And here's what I found (most reliable website I could find in amount of time I was willing to spend on it) on sleeping too much:

Good luck! (:

The classical triad of diabetes symptoms is polyuria (frequent urination), polydipsia (increased thirst and consequent increased fluid intake), polyphagia (increased appetite). Weight loss may occur, more commonly in type 1 diabetes. These symptoms may develop quite fast in type 1, particularly in children (weeks or months) but may be subtle or completely absent—as well as developing much more slowly—in type 2. In type 1 there may also be weight loss (despite normal or increased eating) and irreducible fatigue. These symptoms may also manifest in type 2 diabetes in patients whose diabetes is poorly controlled.

When the glucose concentration in the blood is high (i.e., above the "renal threshold"), reabsorption of glucose in the proximal renal tubuli is incomplete, and part of the glucose remains in the urine (glycosuria). This increases the osmotic pressure of the urine and thus inhibits the resorption of water by the kidney, resulting in an increased urine production (polyuria) and an increased fluid loss. Lost blood volume will be replaced osmotically from water held in body cells, causing dehydration and increased thirst.

Prolonged high blood glucose causes glucose absorption and so leads to changes in the shape of the lenses of the eyes, leading to vision changes. Blurred vision is a common complaint leading to a diabetes diagnosis; type 1 should always be suspected in cases of rapid vision change whereas type 2 is generally more gradual, but should still be suspected.

Patients (usually with type 1 diabetes) may also present with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), an extreme state of metabolic dysregulation eventually characterized by the smell of acetone on the patient's breath, Kussmaul breathing (a rapid, deep breathing), polyuria, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain, and any of many altered states of consciousness or arousal (e.g., hostility and mania or, equally, confusion and lethargy). In severe DKA, coma (unconsciousness) may follow, progressing to death. In any form, DKA is a medical emergency and requires hospital admission.

A rarer, but equally severe, possibility is hyperosmolar nonketotic state, which is more common in type 2 diabetes, and is mainly the result of dehydration due to loss of body water. Often, the patient has been drinking extreme amounts of sugar-containing drinks, leading to a vicious circle in regard to the water loss.
