| description | Abstract Sleep quality and its effects have become a public concern over the last few years. While the prevalence of sleep disorders was increasing, several studies have linked diet and physical activity as a cause of it. Indeed, many people complain about their sleeping problems without considering their lifestyle as a cause. This leads the efforts to focus on these principal factors and find their specific effect. The study aims to map out the research on the effect of nutrition and physical activity on sleep quality. The literature search was conducted in electronic libraries and databases related to nutrition and medical literature – Google Scholar, PubMed, and ScienceDirect– using relevant selected keywords. Article inclusion and selection were made by excluding duplicates, analyzing titles and abstracts, and reviewing the articles’ full text. This review included 61 articles. This literature study reinforces the importance of researching sleep and the lifestyle contributors to poor sleep, such as physical activity and nutrition. |
