“…However, these restaurants may also offer nutrient balanced foods, which are quickly prepared and eaten during a short time. Other research has demonstrated that high calorie, low-nutrient density foods with high proinflammatory potential are those foods associated with sleep problems, rather than the fast food regardless its nutritional value [ 44 , 45 ]. Assessment of carbonated soft drinks did not specify energy drinks which are also known to be associated with reduced sleep quality [46] .…”

Background Poor quality sleep adversely impacts on adolescent wellbeing. More multinational research is needed to understand modifiable risk factors, such as dietary behaviours. This study aimed to examine the association of carbonated soft drink and fast food intake with stress-related sleep disturbance among adolescents across 64 countries. Methods We analysed the Global School-based Student Health Survey data from 175,261 adolescents (mean age 13.8 [0.98]; 48.5% females). Adolescents reported frequency of stress-related sleep disturbance and consumption of carbonated soft drinks and fast foods. Country-level estimates were obtained by using multivariable logistic regression and meta-analysis to obtain pooled estimates. Findings Overall, 7.5% of adolescents reported sleep disturbance during the past 12 months (males: 6.6%; females: 8.4%). Meta-analysis showed that adolescents having carbonated soft drinks ≥3 times/day had over 50% higher odds of reporting sleep disturbance than

“…Dietary (poly)phenols have been related to several potential health benefits [20]: recently, they have been hypothesized to also play a role in brain health [21,22]. We previously reported that individuals more adherent to healthy dietary patterns (i.e., the Mediterranean diet) and to a diet with low inflammatory potential were more likely to have higher sleep quality [23,24]. In the present study, we aimed to test whether total, subclasses of and individual (poly)phenols may be candidate molecules associated with sleep quality in a cohort of Italian adults.…”

Background: Diet has been the major focus of attention as a leading risk factor for non-communicable diseases, including mental health disorders. A large body of literature supports the hypothesis that there is a bidirectional association between sleep and diet quality, possibly via the modulation of neuro-inflammation, adult neurogenesis and synaptic and neuronal plasticity. In the present study, the association between dietary total, subclasses of and individual (poly)phenols and sleep quality was explored in a cohort of Italian adults. Methods: The demographic and dietary characteristics of 1936 adults living in southern Italy were analyzed. Food frequency questionnaires (FFQs) were used to assess dietary intake. Data on the (poly)phenol content in foods were retrieved from the Phenol-Explorer database. The Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index was used to measure sleep quality. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to test the associations. Results: A significant inverse association between a higher dietary intake of lignans and inadequate sleep quality was found. Additionally, individuals with the highest quartile of hydroxycinnamic acid intake were less likely to have inadequate sleep quality. When individual compounds were taken into consideration, an association with sleep quality was observed for naringenin and apigenin among flavonoids, and for matairesinol among lignans. A secondary analysis was conducted, stratifying the population into normal weight and overweight/obese individuals. The findings in normal weight individuals showed a stronger association between certain classes of, subclasses of and individual compounds and sleep quality. Notably, nearly all individual compounds belonging to the lignan class were inversely associated with inadequate sleep quality. In the overweight/obese individuals, there were no associations between any dietary (poly)phenol class and sleep quality. Conclusions: The results of this study suggest that a higher dietary intake of certain (poly)phenols may be associated with better sleep quality among adult individuals.

“…35 Another study found that following a diet with low inflammatory index (such as DASH diet) improved sleep quality. 36 Dietary modification may be a practical approach to preventing sleep disorders. In line with our results, in a previous study, it has been found that a sodium-restricted diet (maximum intake of 3 g of sodium per day) for one week improved the symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea compared with control group.…”

“…Additionally, DASH diet has been associated with inflammation, 43 which in turn is associated with scarce sleep medicine, 44 Up to date, only one study investigated the correlation between inflammatory potential of the diet and sleep, and showed that individuals adherent to a proinflammatory diet report worse sleep quality. 36 Studies have shown that weight disorders such as overweight and obesity are usually associated with sleep problems, 45 and some studies have shown that adherence to DASH diet has helped to correct this trend; 46,47 therefore, it is expected that adherence to DASH diet can improve some sleep disorders such as insomnia. Interestingly, obesity has been demonstrated to be a modifying factor of the correlation between higher adherences to the Mediterranean diet and sleep features.…”

Background: The beneficial impact of adherence to a DASH diet on several metabolic conditions and psychological well-being has been shown previously. Dietary modification can affect sleep quality. Thus, the aim of this present study was to investigate the correlation between adherence to the DASH diet and daytime sleepiness score in adolescent girls. Methods: A total of 535 adolescent girls aged between 12 and 18 years old were recruited from different regions of Khorasan Razavi in northeastern of Iran, using a random cluster sampling method. DASH scores were determined according to the method of Fung et al. A Persian translation of the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS-IR) was used to assess of daytime sleepiness. To investigate the correlation between DASHstyle diet and daytime sleepiness score, we applied logistic regression analysis in crude and adjusted models. Results: As may be expected, participants with the greatest adherence to the DASH diet had significantly higher intakes of fruits, vegetables, low-fat dairy products, fish and nuts, and lower consumption of refined grains, red and processed meat, sugar-sweetened beverages and sweets. There was an inverse correlation between adherence to the DASH-style diet and scores for daytime sleepiness in crude model (β= −0.12; P=0.005). These findings were remained significant after adjustment for confounding variables (β= −0.08 P=0.04). Conclusion:There is an inverse correlation between adherence to DASH diet and daytime sleepiness score. Further studies, particularly longitudinal studies, are required to determine whether dietary intervention may improve daytime sleepiness.
