Get Plenty of Sleep
As mentioned earlier, starting mid-October and lasting until the first week of January, your schedule becomes much more crazy. You will be consumed by the spirit of the season. Decorating the house, baking, shopping for and wrapping gifts, visiting friends and family, and attempting to fulfill all other responsibilities can lead to disrupted sleep.
Sleep deprivation can upset blood glucose levels and make it more difficult to control other symptoms of diabetes. Therefore, you need to prioritize your sleep more than anything. Aim for about 7 to 8 hours of quality sleep per night. If getting all that in one shot is difficult, consider making time for shorter naps throughout the day. Power napping can be very beneficial for energy levels and productivity.
Getting plenty of sleep also helps prevent mindless eating. So get that shut-eye!
