What you eat today shapes your sleep tonight.

On higher-fiber, more plant-diverse days, people experience more deep and REM sleep, less light and fragmented sleep, and have a lower overnight heart rate.

On days with more processed foods and saturated fat, nighttime wakefulness tends to be higher with a less restorative sleep pattern (less deep/REM sleep).

And when dinner makes up a larger share of daily calories, people sleep longer with a higher overnight heart rate. A longer interval between one's last meal and bed time (about 4 vs. 2 hours) is associated with a lower overnight heart rate.

Long-term healthy eating patterns are essential for good sleep, but this new study argues that even day-to-day dietary variations affect how well or how poorly we sleep.

Nuevo estudio publicado sobre el TDAH como desorden circadiano.

Muchos casos de TDAH van acompañados de alteraciones del ritmo circadiano (cronotipo vespertino, sueño tardío, melatonina/cortisol desfasados).

Intervenciones cronoterapéuticas (luz brillante por la mañana, melatonina, hábitos de sueño) podrían mejorar tanto el sueño como los síntomas del TDAH.

Poor sleep fuels #inflammation—even without obesity! 🛏️🔥 A study in The Journal of Immunology finds sleep disruption increases inflammatory cells, but the good news? It's reversible with better sleep! Prioritize rest for better health. https://t.co/xERxt4XEJ8 #SleepHealth

A new study highlights how signals from the liver to the brain influence eating patterns tied to circadian rhythms. The liver-brain communication can get disrupted in people working night shifts or irregular hours leading to weight gain & metabolic issues. https://t.co/p9NWucgQoW

Circadian-informed lighting improved sleep, sleepiness, and vigilance compared to control lighting. These findings support the potential for lighting interventions to improve sleep and vigilance in night shift workers chronically exposed to dim lighting. https://t.co/EZutD3eqJq

Based on this preprint, #sleep inertia (difficulty waking up) may explain the prior association of evening #chronotype with greater risk of #psychiatric conditions:

Evening types _without sleep inertia_ were not at higher risk compared with morning types.

Findings from this study in the Journal SLEEP Advances suggest a possible link between greater fat intake close to #sleep and poor sleep quality (e.g. greater wake time).
