I’ve read that 8 hours is generally considered ideal for most adults, but I guess the quality of sleep matters just as much as the quantity.

Great question! @Aniket

Most experts agree that 7 to 9 hours of quality sleep each night is ideal for maintaining good metabolic health. Getting less can disrupt insulin sensitivity and raise blood sugar levels, which over time increases the risk of diabetes and other metabolic problems. So, prioritizing good sleep is just as important as diet and exercise for staying healthy!

Cutting back on sleep doesn’t just drain your energy—it can disrupt insulin balance, raise blood sugar, and increase the risk of diabetes over time.

Great, this really underlines how vital sleep is for blood sugar balance. Getting less rest doesn’t just make you tired it disrupts metabolism and makes blood sugar control harder in the long run. It’s clear that quality sleep isn’t just a wellness hack it’s a cornerstone of metabolic health.

Around 7 to 9 hours of sleep every night is ideal for keeping your metabolism healthy. Getting enough sleep helps your body control blood sugar, hormones that affect hunger, and overall energy use. Sleeping less than 7 hours regularly can lead to problems like insulin resistance and weight gain. So, aiming for a good night’s sleep in this range supports your metabolism and helps prevent health issues related to metabolism.
