Preliminary data suggests a possible link between blood omega-3 status, behavior, and sleep quality. Speaking at the Food And Behavior Research (FAB Research) symposium, the DOLAB research project involved both wider population data to look for associations in addition to data on supplementation outcomes. Findings from both arms of the study have shown that omega-3 - and particularly docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) - is associated with sleep quality in children.
The researchers stated it was striking just how many children in the study had been found to have clinical signs of sleep disorders, and that blood levels of DHA were significantly correlated with sleep scores. Further findings found that supplementation with the DHA increased measures of sleep quality from baseline significantly.
Steve: This should not come as a surprise. The less inflamed you are, the better you sleep.
