A recent study published in Sleep Health suggests just that. Researchers found that “those who ate more fruits and vegetables–and consumed more complex carbohydrates such as whole grains–experienced longer periods of deep, undisturbed sleep,” the study reads. “People who met the CDC recommendation of five cups of fruits and vegetables per day could see an average 16% improvement in sleep quality compared with those who ate none.”
I sleep so much more deeply when I eat well. Simple foods, cooking at home, lots of hydration, and no alcohol have a real impact.
