Poor sleep affects tens of millions of people and can be triggered by many factors, including what we eat. A high-fat, low-fiber “Western diet” has been linked to shorter sleep time, more nighttime awakenings, and greater daytime drowsiness. On the other hand, fiber-rich, vegan foods may contribute to deeper, more restful sleep. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a major cause of poor sleep. While weight loss is a proven way to reduce sleep apnea symptoms, studies show that even without weight loss, going vegan can reduce daytime sleepiness in OSA patients. While many studies show promising links between being vegan and better sleep, most data are still correlational. Going vegan may not be a magic cure for insomnia, but it can be a powerful tool in your sleep-health toolkit. Fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes are high-fiber, anti-inflammatory, and rich in sleep-promoting nutrients. These foods support the body systems that contribute to restful, high-quality sleep. If you’re struggling with insomnia or daytime fatigue, being vegan may help. Please always talk to your healthcare provider about your sleep and other health concerns before making any dietary changes or trying new supplements.
