SLEEPING

Improve Your Sleep Hygiene with MyFitnessPal


According to a recent MyFitnessPal survey, 60% of people don’t believe they get good sleep quality. Which, let’s just say it like it is, isn’t great.


But there’s more. In the last year:

  • 34% of individuals say their sleep quality worsened
  • 84% claim they have difficulty falling asleep
  • 87% say they struggle to stay asleep

Sleep deprivation is a widespread concern, with the majority of people admitting they don’t get enough sleep.

So, what’s causing too many to get poor sleep? Stress, anxiety, electronics, and inconsistent sleep schedules are often blamed for poor sleep quality, and they do play a role. But many overlook a crucial element in this equation: food.

Dietary choices have a direct impact on your sleep. In fact, 47% of people agree that they tend to consume unhealthy snacks late at night when they have trouble sleeping, and 33% indulge in sugary or high-fat snacks during late-night hours, at least 1-3 times a week.
