4) Stress
Most people need 7-8 h of sleep per night for optimal health.
Getting more or less than you need may be detrimental. For
example, both shorter and longer sleep duration were
associated with higher insulin levels in a study with over 2.8k
people [23, 24].
In 245 high school students, those who slept less during the
night had higher HOMA-IR [25].

This is, in part, because people get more belly fat and become
less active as they age. Additionally, your energy requirements

additional factors, such as increased oxidative stress and
