Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Poor sleep and diet could significantly affect physical and mental health outcomes. The possibility that nutrition or diet might exacerbate or be protective against poor sleep, and particularly sleep-, or sleep-timing- disorders, lacks a compelling body of evidence. The contributions nutrition and diet might make to improving sleep and especially exploration of the underlying mechanisms of action have also been recognised. Additionally, it is also known that poor sleep impacts eating behaviours and/or choice. The aim of this Special Issue is to highlight the bidirectional link between diet and sleep and their impact on physical and mental health outcomes. Mechanistic studies as well as clinical and translational work showing the impact of nutrients/food groups/dietary patterns and/or nutraceuticals on sleep and circadian outcomes (and their biological and neural correlates) are of particular interest. Research studies in different cohorts, across the human lifespan are strongly encouraged. We welcome different types of manuscript submissions, including original research, narrative and systematic reviews, and meta-analyses.
