Catching up on lost sleep may be one way to reduce the risk of diabetes.
Scientists found that three nights of 'catch-up' sleep helped to clear sugar from the bloodstream.
Previous research has shown that restricting sleep can have a bad effect on insulin sensitivity.
Both studies appear to show a strong link between sleep and the body's use of insulin. A poor insulin response can result in type 2 diabetes.
