Key Points

The study aims to explore the relationship between legumes and nuts consumption and sleep quality and duration in adults.
Observational analysis of dietary intake among Iranian adults.
Assessment of sleep duration and quality using standardized questionnaires.
Evaluation of oxidative stress markers and inflammation levels, including glutathione peroxidase.
Increased intake of legumes and nuts correlated with lower odds of short sleep duration.
Better sleep quality linked to higher consumption of these foods.
A U-shaped relationship was found between glutathione peroxidase levels and poor sleep quality.

Implication

Observational analysis reveals links between legumes, nuts, sleep quality in adults, suggesting dietary benefits for sleep health.

Abstract

Legumes and nuts intake was associated with reduced odds of short sleep duration and poor sleep quality. A U-shaped association was observed between glutathione peroxidase levels and odds of poor sleep quality.
