Sleep Disorders and Complementary Health Approaches

A variety of complementary health approaches have been studied to see whether they are helpful for insomnia and other sleep disorders

Click here to view in browser. U.S. Department of Health & Human Services  /  National Institutes of Health Sleep Disorders and Complementary Health Approaches A variety of complementary health approaches have been studied to see whether they are helpful for insomnia and other sleep disorders.  Relaxation techniques, such as guided imagery and progressive muscle relaxation, are sometimes used as part of cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia, the most strongly recommended treatment for insomnia. Whether relaxation techniques are helpful if used alone is uncertain; there's not much research evidence on this topic.  Melatonin supplements may be helpful for sleep problems caused by shift work or jet lag. They may also help people with insomnia fall asleep more quickly and feel less sleepy in the daytime. However, they have not been shown to be helpful for other aspects of insomnia, such as the amount of time spent awake during the night.  Music-based interventions may improve sleep quality in people with insomnia, but it's uncertain whether they can also reduce the severity of insomnia or the number of times a person wakes up during the night.    Find out more

With over 38 million Americans with diabetes and nearly 98 million with prediabetes—the diabetes reality is more frightening than ghosts and goblins this Halloween. But with your help, we can scare away diabetes once and for all.  Make an Impact

Friend,   Before you settle in for a night of spooky fun on October 31, the American Diabetes Association® (ADA) invites you to join us in our Halloween fight to scare away diabetes. The numbers may be frightening, but the American Diabetes Association® (ADA) is at the front lines in this fight.  Nevertheless, we know it's going to take all of us to change the curve of the diabetes epidemic and make this disease a thing of the past.

Donate... If You Dare

While ADA-funded researchers aren't fighting monsters, they are hard at work to make a difference in the lives of those affected by diabetes by discovering improved treatments, and ultimately, making progress towards a cure to end diabetes once and for all. For as little as $10, or about the price of one large pumpkin, you can support 10 minutes of lifesaving diabetes research. Other amounts can have a profound impact, too:

$25 could support our efforts to share diabetes resources in the ZIP codes of the 136 million Americans living with diabetes or prediabetes. Give $25 Today

$50 can help educate 10 people on how to thrive with diabetes through our Center for Information   Give $50 Today

$75 can help provide our free monthly diabetes-friendly online cooking demonstrations and interactions with our nutritionists to 20 people Give $75 Today

ANY amount can help us get closer to our mission to prevent and cure diabetes and to improve the lives of all people affected by diabetes Give ANY Amount

Together, we can make this Halloween one to remember knowing we stood together to make a difference in the lives of the 136 million Americans living with diabetes or prediabetes.
