People who have trouble sleeping are at higher risk of dying than those without sleep problems, especially if they are diabetics, a new study suggests. They found that people with frequent sleep problems were at a higher risk of dying than those without sleep problems. Additionally, results showed people with diabetes and sleep problems were 12 percent more likely to die over this period than those who had diabetes but not frequent sleep disturbances. The adults were split into four groups: no diabetes and no insomnia, insomnia but no diabetes, diabetes but not insomnia, and those with diabetes and insomnia. 'However, the mortality for participants with diabetes combined with frequent sleep problems was increased to 87 percent.'
