Diabetic patients often have insufficient sleep and poor sleep quality. Diabetes related metabolic disorders cause secondary physiological and pathological changes in various tissues and organs. Adverse effects on the central nervous system (including neurobehavioral and neurotransmitter abnormalities, autonomic dysfunction) may lead to sleep disorders. Generally speaking, you can fall asleep within 10 to 15 minutes, and you never wake up in the whole sleep. If you wake up comfortably, you can call it good sleep. Such as difficulty falling asleep, lack of deep sleep, waking up after sleep, conscious dreaminess, waking up early, difficulty falling asleep after waking up, feeling uncomfortable or tired after waking up, sleepiness during the day, etc., can be regarded as sleep disorders. Generally, adults have 7 to 8 hours of sleep a day, and the elderly have 5 to 6 hours of sleep. What is the reason why diabetes is closely related to sleep disorders? On the one hand, sleep disorders promote the occurrence of type 2 diabetes and affect the control of blood sugar in diabetics. If things go on like this, people with diabetes, especially those with poor blood glucose control, often suffer from sleep disorders. Vicious spiral will be formed. Sleep disorders can affect the glycemic control of diabetic patients with long-term sleep disorders, which can cause increased body oxygen, and energy metabolism is more vigorous than sleep, which is likely to cause high blood sugar or hypoglycemia risk. Glycosylated hemoglobin in diabetics will increase, fasting and 2 hours after meal will increase. Chronic complications can aggravate sleep disorders. Diabetic patients with chronic complications may suffer from intermittent pain, numbness, itching, abnormal temperature, and increased nocturnal urine. These symptoms will continue to form a vicious spiral, thereby aggravating sleep disorders. Acute complications can affect sleep quality. Nocturnal hypoglycemia, hyperosmolar coma and ketoacidosis are common acute complications in diabetic patients, which not only affect the quality of sleep, but also endanger patients' lives. In short, the key points of good sleep: life is regular, let nature take its course, create a good environment for sleep, don't be greedy at night, stay away from caffeine and nicotine, don't drink 4 to 6 hours before going to bed, exercise regularly, and take a nap for no more than 60 minutes.
