• 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.
