Are There Specific Sleep Recommendations for Diabetics?
Individuals with diabetes should aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep per night. Recommendations include:
Maintaining a consistent sleep schedule, even on weekends. Creating a comfortable and dark sleep environment. Avoiding caffeine and heavy meals close to bedtime. Engaging in regular physical activity, but not too close to bedtime. Practicing relaxation techniques before bed to reduce stress.
Consulting with a sleep specialist can provide personalized strategies to improve sleep and manage diabetes more effectively.
