More sleep means good health? Answer is no. Study says people with diabetes face risk of developing deadly liver disease with rise in nap time. A new study presented at ENDO 2026, the Endocrine Society’s annual meeting in Chicago, has found a link between longer daytime naps and an increased risk of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) among people with type 2 diabetes. Researchers examined sleep habits and health outcomes in nearly 1,900 adults over several years. The findings suggest that sleep behavior may play an important role in identifying people who face a greater risk of liver disease and may offer a simple way to improve prevention efforts.
