Difficulty Sleeping
A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have had difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep for years. I have had testing for apnea, it was clear. I’ve tried so many different techniques prior to bedtime. It certainly affects my sugar levels. Very frustrating. Any other ideas.

I take it 2 when I feel anxious n restless. It helps me. Chamomile is known 4 it's calming effect.

This may not work for you, but lately I listen to old radio programs on my Kindle (Jack Benny, mysteries, etc.) Often I feel comfortable, and fall asleep. I've tried music but prefer hearing conversation.

I gradually switched to decaf coffee and green tea and a nice long walk before bed. Now I get the best sleep ever. Also, a candle lit bubble bath helps too with calming music or a book.
