Fatty liver disease is an illness you may have already heard of, but what many might not know is that poor sleeping habits can actually put you at risk for fatty liver disease. A recent study in China has provided enough evidence suggesting that poor sleep behaviors, including daytime napping and nighttime sleep disturbances, could increase the risk of metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease.

Summary:
What is fatty liver disease?
Fatty liver disease or Hepatic steatosis is a disorder brought on by an accumulation of excess fat in the liver.

Looking at Emerging Research
New research states individuals who lead inactive lifestyles and engage in lousy sleeping patterns may be at risk of developing fatty liver disease.

Is fatty liver treatable, and can it be cured?
Currently, there is no drug-approved treatment for fatty liver disease. However, lifestyle modifications can reverse most stages of fatty liver disease.

Now let's examine how to regulate our sleep schedule.
Consider basic methods for improving sleep, such as establishing a sleep pattern and engaging in regular physical activity.

Adhere to a sleep schedule.
You should allocate no more than eight hours to sleep. At least seven hours of sleep is ideal for adults in good health. Most people do not require more than eight hours of sleep to feel refreshed.

Be mindful of what you eat and drink.
Do not go to bed hungry or bloated. Specifically, avoid eating substantial meals within two hours of bedtime. Discomfort could keep you awake.

Try creating a relaxing sleep environment.
Keep a cold, dark, and quiet room. Evening exposure to light could make it more difficult to fall asleep.

Limit daytime naps.
Long naps during the day can disrupt nocturnal sleep. Avoid napping in the late afternoon, and restrict naps to no more than an hour.

Engage in physical activity on a daily basis.
Regular physical activity can improve sleep quality. But avoid engaging in physical activity too close to bedtime.

Last but not least, manage your anxieties.
Try to resolve your concerns or worries before going to bed. Write down your thoughts and set them aside for tomorrow.
