Does Nutrition Impact On Sleep?
Dear Reader,
Eating and sleeping may well be connected, though till now there's been little science to back the idea. Now a new study appearing online ahead of print in the journal Appetite finds that what you're eating might affect how well you sleep. The team of researchers saw that some nutrients play a part in the duration of sleep, and that subjects who ate a wide mix of foods (what's considered a healthy diet) had the most healthy sleep patterns as well.
We know that most Americans take in too many calories and not enough of the vital nutrients the body needs to stay healthy. Our diets are very typically low in fruits, veggies and whole grains, while being loaded with bad-for-you saturated fats, salt and sugar. It's what has more of us than ever falling into the overweight, or even obese category, putting many at risk for dangerous, life altering chronic diseases.
Sleep, so vital to life and functioning, is getting more attention than ever, as experts begin to see the value it has, just like nutrition and exercise, to our overall health and well being. As a rule, those who get from 7 and 8 hours of sleep per night report they are in better health both physically and mentally. So the researchers, including Michael Grandner who is an instructor in psychiatry as well as a member of the Center for Sleep and Circadian Neurobiology at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine, wondered if there were differences in the diet of those who sleep for shorter or longer periods, or follow a more standard pattern. Grandner and his team used data from the 2007-2008 U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.
They saw that short sleepers (5-6 hours/night) ate the most calories; followed by the normal (7-8 hours/night) sleepers, very short sleepers (under 5 hours/night) and long sleepers (9+ hours/night). When it came to eating a varied diet, normal sleepers did best, and short sleepers ate the least varied diet.

Does Nutrition Impact On Sleep? Continued...
In fact, very short sleep was associated with a lower intake of a substance known as lycopene, a chemical that's naturally part of red and orange colored foods, as well as total carbs and tap water. Short sleep was linked to lower intake of vitamin C, tap water, selenium (a mineral in nuts, meat, shellfish) as well as higher levels of the nutrients known as lutein and zeaxanthin, found in leafy greens. Long sleep was associated with a lower intake of a chemical known as theobromine that's in chocolate and tea, a saturated fat known as dodecanoic acid, choline (in eggs and fatty meats), total carbs and a higher intake of alcohol.
The take home message? Those who sleep for the typical 7 to 8 hours a night differ in terms of what they eat compared to those who sleep less or who sleep more. Short and long sleep are associated with less variety of foods in the diet. What no one knows, yet, is if someone changed their diet, would this impact their sleep? Surely a key area to investigate moving forward, especially since short sleep is linked with poor health conditions like weight gain and obesity, type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
But those who sleep too long also experience some negative consequences to their health.
If science could come up with the ideal mix of naturally occurring nutrients and number of calories to ensure healthy sleep, doctors everywhere would have a powerful weapon against obesity and some other major health issues. And patients would find themselves feeling better, sleeping better in no time.
To your good health,
