Given the severity of the many medical disorders that sleep loss can bring, finding a cure or at least some way to improve the quality and duration of your sleep is vital, especially if you are diabetic. You could, of course, start taking sleeping pills . But these can have very harmful effects on your health, so I do not recommend them.
Most people who take sleeping pills wake up feeling dizzy and remain semi-sleepwalking for several hours until the effect of the chemicals wears off. Therefore, it is better to avoid drugs and try natural remedies like the following:
Exercise early: Exercise in the morning appears to affect body rhythms that influence sleep quality. In a study published in the journal Sleep , researchers reported that women who exercised moderately for at least 30 minutes every day of the week at 7 a.m. enjoyed better sleep than those without a similar routine. Why do exercise time and sleep have this type of relationship? There is no firm answer. A possible explanation may be related to body temperature. Your temperature rises during exercise and it takes up to six hours for it to drop back to normal. Colder bodies are linked to better sleep so if you exercise early in the day you would be well chilled before bed.
