Dietary intake of carbohydrates, daytime sleepiness and obstructive sleep apnoea in adults from reykjavík, Iceland

Abstract

Dietary carbohydrates (CHOs) might influence sleep quality and sleep patterns through their role on several sleep-related hormones, and their influence on tryptophan metabolism. In a population-based study of adults from Iceland, we investigated the association of CHO intake, obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and daytime sleepiness.
