EATING HABITS THAT ACTUALLY IMPROVE YOUR SLEEP

About 1 in 3 Americans say they’re sleep deprived, and these deficits are linked to serious illnesses like heart disease, stroke, diabetes, cancer, and depression. Certain patterns of eating could lead to more nightly rest.

Good sleep also stabilizes the body’s hunger hormones for less impulsive snacking the next day. “It’s a cycle,” says Marie-Pierre St-Onge, director of Columbia University’s Irving Medical Center of Excellence for Sleep and Circadian Research. “If you eat better, you’ll sleep better and be more refreshed. And that helps you make better decisions for your diet.”

Key to improving nighttime rest is picking an eating regimen with plenty of compounds that promote sleep. This doesn’t come down to any one food or ingredient. “It’s more of a holistic profile with various helpful components,” St-Onge says.

An ideal diet leaves out foods with substances that could spoil your slumber. They include less healthy carbs like low-fiber, high-sugar cereals, bagels, and fruit juices. People who eat unhealthy carbs tend to wake up more frequently overnight, according to St-Onge’s research.

Although the Mediterranean regimen is backed by most of the research, other approaches could be just as beneficial if they offer the same sleep-promoting nutrients and compounds. Aim for diets with many vegetables, lower-sugar fruits, plant-based proteins, and unsaturated fats. “Such patterns probably influence sleep in the same way” as the Mediterranean approach, St-Onge says.
