Abstract in brief

The study examined how food intake affects sleep patterns in healthy men and women, finding gender-specific correlations between diet and sleep quality.
No significant differences in overall sleep patterns were found between genders, except men had a higher percentage of stage 1 sleep; some dietary factors, like fat intake, impacted sleep differently in each gender.
Both men and women showed that eating during late-night hours, such as dinner or snacks close to bedtime, negatively influenced sleep quality, suggesting that nocturnal eating may impair restful sleep.]
