Daytime Sleepiness And Alertness Tied To Diet
Dear Reader,
You might think that what you eat and how you sleep are related, but there's little research that's explored the connection between the two. Most experts agree that those who get between 7 to 8 hours of sleep a night experience better health and feelings of well being than those who get less, but no one, until now, has asked the question about diet and daytime alertness/sleepiness, or how what we eat might affect nighttime sleep.
A new bit of research is suggesting that alertness or sleepiness during the day may be related to what type of food you eat. The more fat consumption in the diet was linked to increased daytime sleepiness, while higher carb intake was linked to better alertness. Protein consumption had no relationship to sleepiness or alertness. The findings were not related to gender, age, body mass index, total calorie intake during the day and the total amount of sleep the subjects were getting.
When it comes to daytime alertness, taking in more fat has an acute adverse impact on alertness of those who are otherwise healthy and not obese according to study lead investigator Alexandros Vgontzas, MD, a professor of psychiatry at Penn State's College of Medicine. The subjects in the study were 31 healthy non-obese adults who ranged in age from 18 to 65 years old and were normal sleepers, free of sleep apnea, who agreed to spend four nights in a row in a sleep lab. Meals were provided five times so the researchers could look at dietary habits. On the last day, sleepiness was measured using the Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT).
The authors point out that earlier work in this area found that what's in the diet affects subjective measures of daytime sleepiness. This study adds to what we know by demonstrating the same association between what subjects' ate but using objective measures of sleepiness. Eating a diet with lots of fat does appear to impact alertness and this can have consequences not only for your own functioning and relationships, but the safety of others when you drive of if you operate dangerous machinery.

Daytime Sleepiness And Alertness Tied To Diet Continued...
What you eat can also impact your sleep. Another recent study from the University of Pennsylvania's Perelman School of Medicine, finds what you eat impacts how you sleep during the night. Those in the study who consumed the most calories were also more likely to be "short" sleepers. If you eat a lot of calories at 10:00 at night, your body will likely start putting out insulin in the middle of the night, and this can disrupt the sleep cycle. You'll want to, where possible, eat earlier and try to eat fewer calories and you're less likely to have disrupted sleep.
Both studies point to the importance of an overall healthy diet, with a good variety of foods, limited "junk" food being best for ensuring the healthiest sleep patterns. Being sleep deprived is dangerous and destructive, but the good news is that there are effective treatments for sleep problems. The first step is to talk to your doctor and discuss your symptoms.
The study on daytime sleepiness was published in online the journal SLEEP, and the findings are scheduled to be presented at SLEEP 2013 in Baltimore, Md.
To your good health,
