Fiber and Saturated Fat Are Associated with Sleep Arousals and Slow Wave Sleep.

ABSTRACT:

Study objectives

Sleep restriction alters food intake, but less is known about how dietary patterns affect sleep. Current goals were to determine whether: (1) sleep is different after consumption of a controlled diet vs. an ad libitum diet, and (2) dietary intake during ad libitum feeding is related to nocturnal sleep.

Linear regression was used to determine relations between daytim
