Insomnia is a common problem, as approximately 10 percent of the adult population has it. People who sleep poorly and experience the chronic fatigue it brings know the detrimental effects it has on their daily lives, including reduced work productivity, troubled relationships, and low mood. Consequently, they long for a remedy that will work quickly.
A recent clinical trial found an important tool for improving sleep that may have been previously overlooked—eating more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. While earlier research has shown an association between eating these foods and quality sleep, the new study indicated a link between a day’s dietary choices and the quality of sleep that very night.
