Literature review highlights dietary tryptophan's effects on sleep in adolescents with TBI, suggesting nutritional strategies for management.
This literature review examines the role of dietary tryptophan in regulating melatonin production and improving sleep quality in adolescents with traumatic brain injury (TBI). The review synthesizes current evidence on tryptophan metabolism, its impact on the sleep-wake cycle, and potential dietary interventions for sleep disturbances following TBI. Sources include peer-reviewed studies, clinical trials, and meta-analyses. Findings highlight the importance of tryptophan-rich dietary interventions in supporting melatonin regulation, promoting restorative sleep, and improving overall quality of life for adolescents with TBI. This review provides a foundation for future research and clinical application in nutritional strategies for sleep management.
