Nutritional interventions in treating menopause-related sleep disturbances: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Context

Sleep disturbances are a core symptom of menopause, which refers to the permanent cessation of menstrual periods. Nutritional interventions may alleviate menopause-related sleep disturbances, as studies have shown that certain interventions (eg, tart cherry juice, or tryptophan-rich foods) can improve relevant aspects of sleep.

Objective

The aim of this systematic review was to examine the effect of nutritional interventions for menopause-related sleep disturbances, in order to inform the subsequent development of specific interventional trials and assess their potential as a treatment for menopause-related sleep disturbances.

Data sources

Published studies in English were located by searching PubMed and PsycArticles databases (until September 15, 2022).
