    Sifferlin, Alexandra. "Does Your Diet Influence How Well You Sleep?" Time. Time, 7 Feb. 2013. Web. 27 Feb. 2013. http://healthland.time.com/2013/02/07/does-your-diet-influence-how-well-you-sleep/. Sleeping and eating right are key to good health, and now, a study done at the University of Pennsylvania shows that a good diet is key to good sleeping habits. Data from the NHANES of 2007-2008 shows that short sleepers (5-6 hours) consumed the most calories, followed by normal sleeper (7-8 hours), and then very short sleepers (>5 hours), and finally long sleepers (9+ hours), who consumed the least amount of calories. The normal sleepers also had the most variety in their diets with very short sleepers having the least. The very short and short sleepers also didn't get as much of certain vitamins or water in their diets.
