he importance of <strong>sleep</strong> is undeniable. Quality <strong>sleep</strong> is essential for a healthy<br />

lifestyle. Without adequate <strong>sleep</strong>, the body does not get a chance to<br />

recharge and it becomes unable to function efficiently throughout the day.<br />

Sometimes it is hard to <strong>sleep</strong> even when you have the most comfortable mattress<br />

and a luxurious bedroom setting. There are a lot of factors that contribute to<br />

ensuring a good and comfortable <strong>sleep</strong>.<br />

Diet <strong>can</strong> have an effect on <strong>sleep</strong> so it is important that you choose <strong>your</strong> meals<br />

carefully. A perfectly balanced diet and quality <strong>sleep</strong> are helpful in maintaining a<br />

healthy lifestyle. Bad eating habits <strong>can</strong> lead to serious <strong>sleep</strong> and eating disorders.<br />

THE CONNECTION BETWEEN DIET AND SLEEP TIME:<br />

There is an association between <strong>sleep</strong> time and diet. The <strong>sleep</strong>ers are classified<br />

into three groups; short <strong>sleep</strong>ers, very short <strong>sleep</strong>ers, and long <strong>sleep</strong>ers.<br />

The very short <strong>sleep</strong>ers are the ones who drink little water and their diet has<br />

fewer carbohydrates and dark green in their diet plan.<br />

The short <strong>sleep</strong>ers consume less water and their <strong>food</strong>s lack nutrients like<br />

lutein, selenium and vitamin C.<br />

Long <strong>sleep</strong>ers consume a higher quantity of alcohol as compared to the other<br />

two types of <strong>sleep</strong>ers.


The quality of <strong>sleep</strong> is <strong>affect</strong>ed by the nutrients that you put in the body. The<br />

overall quality of the <strong>sleep</strong> <strong>can</strong> suffer if you are following a low protein diet.<br />

People whose meals are focused on proteins have short <strong>sleep</strong> span as they<br />

difficulty in <strong>sleep</strong>ing comfortably.<br />

Inadequate <strong>sleep</strong> is bad for health because it <strong>can</strong> disturb the functionality of the<br />

entire body. The inefficiency of <strong>sleep</strong> will make you feel lethargic and when you<br />

feel lethargic you will end up eating more than usual. Lack of <strong>sleep</strong> <strong>can</strong> trigger<br />

overeating as the body tries to compensate for the lack of energy.<br />

Unhealthy diet leads to <strong>sleep</strong> deprivation and if the unhealthy eating continues<br />

then the obesity will lead other serious health issues like diabetes, cardiovascular<br />

diseases, and weight gain. It is important that you have a balanced diet so that the<br />

body has the right nutrients and is able to relax.<br />

The carbohydrate-rich diet <strong>can</strong> induce <strong>sleep</strong>. If the meals have too much<br />

carbohydrate or too little carbohydrates then it will disturb the <strong>sleep</strong> pattern.<br />

People consuming few carbohydrates need less restorative time. If the<br />

carbohydrate percentage in the meals is not right then there is a high chance of<br />

disturbing the <strong>sleep</strong> cycle.<br />

Highly processed <strong>food</strong> is also a culprit when it comes to disrupted <strong>sleep</strong>. Try not to<br />

eat <strong>food</strong>s that have high sugar content especially before the <strong>sleep</strong> time. The sugar<br />

gives the body a boost of energy making it hard for it to relax and go to <strong>sleep</strong> at<br />

the right time. It is important that there is a gap between eating and <strong>sleep</strong> time.<br />

Diet has a serious impact on the <strong>sleep</strong> pattern and quality. If you are having a hard<br />

time <strong>sleep</strong>ing and failing to get the hours you need then it is important that you<br />

take a look at <strong>your</strong> diet.
