It would be nice to adjust for DM2 family history. This study was adjusted for age, hypertension, smoking status, self-rated health status, education, and waist circumference. The autor thinks that this risk (to sleep a lot or not) for developing DM2 could be mediated by changes in endogenous testosterone. Judy:

Coincidence is not causation. Where's the evidence? Or perhaps if you have a predisposition to type 2 diabetes, you’re more likely to get more or less sleep than the average person who doesn’t.
