New research from Harvard has suggested that women who have difficulties sleeping are much more likely to develop Type 2 diabetes. Doctors tracked more than 133,000 patients. They found women with numerous sleep problems, like snoring and waking frequently, were up to four times more likely to develop the condition.

Just working out may not be enough to take off that extra weight, according to researchers at City University of New York. They found people don’t necessarily burn extra calories even if they exercise more, and a focus on diet is also needed.

Doctors at Johns Hopkins said people trying to learn a new skill, such as on the computer, do better when they change things up slightly during practice. Scientists said the process of combining new knowledge with memory is key to developing stronger motor skills.
