Links Between Vitamin and Mineral Intake and Sleep Quality in Teenagers

Updated

Abstract

Adolescent micronutrient intake is related to sleep health outcomes.

  • Higher intake of folic acid, potassium, calcium, magnesium, vitamin D, vitamin K, and iron may be associated with earlier chronotype.
  • Increased micronutrient intake could lead to reduced daytime sleepiness.
  • Earlier DLMO timing is potentially linked to higher levels of specific micronutrients.
  • Less circadian misalignment may be associated with adequate consumption of certain vitamins and minerals.
