Several lines of evidence indicate that chronic lack of sleep may contribute to the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Adequate sleep and good sleep hygiene should be included among the goals of a healthy lifestyle, especially for patients with diabetes. We urge clinicians to recommend at least 7 hours of uninterrupted sleep per night as part of a healthy lifestyle. Several lines of evidence indicate that chronic lack of sleep may contribute to the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Diabetes mellitus and obstructive sleep apnoea: implications for clinicians
TLDR
Early detection of OSA in patients with DM and assessment for DM in those with OSA can potentially reduce cardiovascular disease risk and improve the quality of life in these patients.
Insomnia and Diabetic Patients
TLDR
Insomnia may remain undiagnosed or unnoticed in general, especially, when coupled with diabetes treating underlying insomnia is significant, and this review is to highlight insomnia as a significant risk associated with diabetes.
Sleep Quality and Day Time Sleepiness in Patients with Type-2 Diabetes
  • P. Krishna
  • Medicine
    International Journal of Physiology
  • 2021
TLDR
The study results suggest that there was a significant deterioration of sleep quality in diabetic individuals which is reflected in day time sleepiness scores as diabetic individuals have higher day timeSleepiness.
The Concomitant Relationship Shared by Sleep Disturbances and Type 2 Diabetes: Developing Telemedicine as a Viable Treatment Option
TLDR
Advanced technology incorporating telemedicine and telehealth has the potential to enhance treatment by delivering accepted standard of care, medical monitoring, and education quickly and seamlessly—even in rural locations, and has the added potential benefit of fostering patient empowerment.
Can physical activity affect sleep disruption among the elderly with diabetes mellitus?
TLDR
It was concluded that physical activity could effectively reduce sleep disruption among the diabetic older population.
Influences of social issues on type 1 diabetes self‐management: are we doing enough?
TLDR
This study aimed to explore the influence of social issues on type 1 diabetes management from the perspectives of people with diabetes and of health care professionals (HCPs), and to identify strategies to enhance the clinic services.
CE: The Potential Effects of Sleep Loss on a Nurse's Health
  • L. Eanes
  • Medicine
    The American journal of nursing
  • 2015
TLDR
The author describes the acute and chronic effects of sleep loss on nurses, strategies nurses can use to increase the quantity and quality of their sleep, and institutional policies that can promote adequate rest and recuperation between work shifts for nursing staff.
Associations among sleep disturbances, nocturnal sleep duration, daytime napping, and incident prediabetes and type 2 diabetes: the Heinz Nixdorf Recall Study.
Importance of Hypertension and Social Isolation in Causing Sleep Disruption in Dementia
TLDR
It was concluded that age, social isolation, and HT increased sleep disruption but education and ethnic non-Malay reduced the risk of sleep problems.

Sleep Duration and the Risk of Diabetes Mellitus: Epidemiologic Evidence and Pathophysiologic Insights
TLDR
Empirical and clinical data suggesting that OSA is involved in the pathogenesis of altered glucose metabolism and increased risk of developing diabetes resulting from curtailed sleep duration are reviewed.
Sleep disturbance and onset of type 2 diabetes.
TLDR
This work investigated the association between sleep disturbance and the subsequent onset of type 2 diabetes in a group of Japanese women and indicated an interesting association betweenSleep patterns and later-onset type 2 Diabetes.
Interactions between obstructive sleep apnea and the metabolic syndrome
TLDR
The parallels between the metabolic syndrome and obstructive sleep apnea are discussed and possible OSA-related factors that may contribute to the metabolic Syndrome are described, specifically the roles of obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, sex hormones, inflammation, vascular dysfunction, leptin, insulin resistance, and sleep deprivation.
Association of sleep time with diabetes mellitus and impaired glucose tolerance.
TLDR
A sleep duration of 6 hours or less or 9 hours or more is associated with increased prevalence of DM and IGT, and voluntary sleep restriction may contribute to the large public health burden of DM.
Sleep duration as a risk factor for the development of type 2 diabetes.
TLDR
Short and long sleep durations increase the risk of developing diabetes, independent of confounding factors, and sleep duration may represent a novel risk factor for diabetes.
Sleep-disordered breathing and cardiovascular health
TLDR
Evidence is provided that the presence of sleep-disordered breathing augurs an increased risk of coronary artery disease, cardiac arrhythmias, and heart failure, which attenuates with treatment.
A prospective study of self-reported sleep duration and incident diabetes in women.
TLDR
The data suggest that the association between a reduced self-reported sleep duration and diabetes diagnosis could be due to confounding by BMI, or sleep restriction may mediate its effects on diabetes through weight gain.
Effects of sleep fragmentation on glucose metabolism in normal subjects.
TLDR
Fragmentation of sleep across all stages is associated with a decrease in S(I) and S(G), and increases in sympathetic nervous system and adrenocortical activity likely mediate the adverse metabolic effects of poor sleep quality.
Incidence of diabetes in middle-aged men is related to sleep disturbances.
TLDR
The results suggest that sleep disturbances and, possibly, elevated resting heart rate, in middle-aged men, are associated with an increased risk of diabetes.
Slow-wave sleep and the risk of type 2 diabetes in humans
TLDR
All-night selective suppression of slow-wave sleep results in marked decreases in insulin sensitivity without adequate compensatory increase in insulin release, leading to reduced glucose tolerance and increased diabetes risk, and the data suggest that reduced sleep quality with low levels of SWS may contribute to increase the risk of type 2 diabetes.
