Improve Your Sleep Hygiene with MyFitnessPal
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.
