Abstract in brief

  • This study explored how dietary protein, especially tryptophan from plant sources, relates to sleep quality in middle-aged and older adults in Singapore, finding that higher intake of these amino acids is linked to longer sleep durations.
  • The research used food records and sleep assessments from 104 participants aged 50 to 75, focusing on protein and amino acid intake, particularly from plant and animal sources.
  • Results showed that higher dietary tryptophan and its ratio to other amino acids, mainly from plant sources, were positively associated with longer sleep duration, while no significant effects were observed on sleep latency or efficiency.
