102: Dietary Variation and Overnight Sleep Physiology: A Target-Trial Emulation

This episodes dissects a paper that analyzes how daily nutritional choices immediately impact objective sleep architecture and nocturnal heart rate using data from thousands of participants. The study identifies two primary "levers" of sleep regulation: dietary composition and meal timing. Shkolnik M, Sapir G, Shilo S, Talmor-Barkan Y, Segal E, Rossman H. Day-to-day dietary variation shapes overnight sleep physiology: a target-trial emulation in 4.8 thousand person-nights.
