Sleep Optimization Nutrition

Meaning

The strategic use of dietary components, specific micronutrients, and meal timing to directly support the physiological processes that govern the initiation, maintenance, and quality of sleep. This nutritional approach focuses on providing precursors for key sleep-regulating neurotransmitters and hormones, such as tryptophan for serotonin and melatonin, while avoiding dietary factors that disrupt sleep architecture. It is a non-pharmacological intervention aimed at regulating the sleep-wake cycle through endogenous biochemical support. Clinical implementation addresses the metabolic foundation of restful sleep.
