Abstract

Background: Type two Diabetes mellitus is one of the most common health problems all over the world. As evidence
by recent studies: Type Two Diabetes Mellitus complications have been more distressed by sleep disturbances. Aim: To
evaluate the impact of implementing sleep hygiene program for patients with type two diabetes mellitus and uncontrolled

sexes with type two diabetes mellitus (aged 20-60 years, Insomniac patients, diagnosed with type two diabetes for at
least 1 year and not more than 10 years). Tools: Two tools were used to collect data. Tool 1: Structured interview
questionnaire sheet. Tool 2: Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index for sleep quality assessment. Results: Majority of studied
patients were suffering from poor glycemic control regarding poor sleep quality (70%). More than two thirds of patients
