Early this morning, across most of the United States, at 2:00 a.m. it suddenly became 3:00 a.m. This aggravating phenomenon of setting clocks ahead or back happens twice a year. But, until state or federal laws change, Daylight Saving Time is just something we have to put up with. Not surprisingly, March is Sleep Awareness Month! So this is a good time to think about your sleep habits and effects on your diabetes!
It’s a good time to focus on Law of Health #7, Rest. How can you improve your sleep experience? We suggest:
- Consistent bedtime
- Pre-bedtime ritual
- Herbal sleep aids
- Add sleep to your Journal
