The amount of sleep people get is known to affect the ability of
their body to use carbohydrates and keep their blood sugar levels
normal. Dr. K. Spiegel of the University of Chicago in Chicago,
Illinois, found healthy young men had 40 percent lower blood sugar
uptake by their tissues when they only had four hours of sleep for six
consecutive nights compared to the six previous nights, during which
they had enough rest.
A study reported on in the Journal of Diabetes in February 2015, looked at total sleep as well as types of rest, to learn whether rest and sleep-patterns could affect insulin sensitivity and blood sugar levels in children and adolescents.
The study included 118 children and adolescents who underwent studies. It was found...
Greater time sleep-stage NREM 1, was associated with a much lowered ability to maintain normal blood sugar and insulin levels.
There are four basic types of sleep based upon brain waves. REM-sleep (rapid eye movement) is the time when most dreams take place. It was named for the back-and-forth movements seen in the eyes when this stage takes place.
NREM-sleep (non-rapid eye movement) is divided into four stages, labeled 1 through 3. It takes about 70 to 100 minutes to go through the entire cycle, which is then repeated through the night.
In the mean time, we can make sure the whole family gets enough total sleep. Mayo Clinic in the United States recommends...

- NREM 1 is the stage in which sleep develops from waking.
- NREM 2 is thought to help with memory consolidation.
- NREM 3 and 4 are called slow wave sleep because patterns of electrical activity in the brain slow down.
In the mean time, we can make sure the whole family gets enough total sleep. Mayo Clinic in the United States recommends...
- 9 to 10 hours of sleep per night, plus at least 3 hours in the day for infants.
- toddlers should get 9 to 10 hours of sleep per night, plus 2 to 3 hours of naps.
- children in school need 9 to 11 hours of sleep, and
- adults should have 7 to 8 hours.
Although managing your disease can be very challenging, Type 2
diabetes is not a condition you must just live with. You can make simple
changes to your daily routine and lower both your weight and your blood
sugar levels. Hang in there, the longer you do it, the easier it gets.
