“…Research on the diet and sleep of college students seems to become more popular than before. Students who ate unhealthily were more likely to have poor sleep quality ( 80 ). Most studies concentrated on the complicated connections between two and more variables in a specific population or background.…”

BackgroundA great proportion of college students experience various sleep problems, which damage their health and study performance. College students' sleep problems, which are caused by several factors, have been easily ignored before. In the past decade, more research has been published to expand our understanding of undergraduates' sleep. The purpose of the study is to explore the research hotspots and frontiers regarding college students' sleep using CiteSpace5.8.R3 and offer guidance for future study.MethodsWe retrieved relevant literature from the Web of Science Core Collection Database and imputed the downloaded files into CiteSpace5.8.R3 for visualization analysis. We generated network maps of the collaborations between authors, countries, institutions, the cited journals, and co-occurrence keywords. The analysis of keywords clusters, timeline views, and keywords citation bursts help us identify the hotspots and research trends.ResultsA total of 1,841 articles related to college students' sleep, published from 2012 to 2021, were selected. The number of publications gradually increased. Karl Peltzer was the most prolific authors with 15 publications. The United States and Harvard University separately contributed 680 and 40 articles and had the greatest impact in this field. SLEEP ranked first in the frequency of cited journals. The article published by Lund HG was the most influential publication. Based on the analysis of keywords, we summarized research hotspots as follows: current status, affecting factors, and adverse outcomes of college students' sleep. The frontiers were the further understanding of the relationships between sleep and mental and physical health, and various interventions for sleep disorders.ConclusionOur study illustrates the research hotspots and trends and calls for more research to expand the findings. In the future, the cooperation between institutions and authors needs to be strengthened. The complex relationships between sleep and mental and physical health and problematic substance use disorders are necessary to be explored. Longitudinal studies or randomized controlled trials should be constructed to verify the current findings or assumptions.

“…In this study, individuals with higher IHL might tend to have health-promoting behaviors, such as balanced dietary patterns, regular physical activity habits, and positive emotions. These healthy behaviors might play important roles in preventing insomnia or improving sleep quality [32,33,34].…”

Background Increasing studies have shown that the improvement of interactive health literacy (IHL) can develop healthy behaviors. Although healthy behaviors could contribute to good sleep quality, few studies explored the association between IHL and sleep quality. This study aimed to examine the relationship between IHL and sleep quality among Chinese college students. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 12007 college students aged 15–26 years. IHL was evaluated using Chinese Adolescent Interactive Health Literacy Questionnaire, and sleep quality was reported by a self-reported question. Multivariate logistic regressions analysis were conducted to examine the association between IHL and sleep quality. Results The prevalence rates of good sleep quality among college students was 77.6%. After adjusting for potential confounders, multivariate logistic regressions analysis revealed a significant inverse association between HL and risk of good sleep quality. The OR (95%CI) of good sleep quality among different IHL level were 1.00 (reference) for low level, 1.628 (1.467, 1.807) for middle level and 2.756 (2.442, 3.111) for high level. Similarly, the significant associations were also found when gender were separately analyzed. Conclusion Our findings suggest that improving IHL may contribute to maintaining good sleep quality. Further intervention research is needed to explore the causal relationship between IHL and the sleep quality among Chinese population. It is therefore necessary to strengthen the health education of Chinese college students to develop their health-promoting behaviors.

“…However, research focusing on the role of inflammatory diets on sleep outcomes has not been extensively conducted in this high-risk population. 24 In addition, this association has not been previously examined among Lebanese university students, who are more likely to eat a traditional Mediterranean diet (MD), which is known for its anti-inflammatory properties. 25 Hence, the objective of the present study is to examine the association between the dietary patterns of Lebanese university students, based on DII scores, and sleep quality.…”

Objective The association between sleep quality and overall health has been extensively examined. However, few studies have investigated the relationship between sleep and the inflammatory potential of the diet. Thus, the purpose of the present study was to explore the association between the scores on the Energy-Adjusted Dietary Inflammatory Index (E-DII) and sleep quality in Lebanese university students. Materials and Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study with students attending the Tripoli campus of Beirut Arab University. A total of 270 students aged between 17 and 25 years were randomly selected. All students filled out a multicomponent questionnaire that included an assessment of their sleep quality using the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index, and of their physical activity level using the short version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. The scores on the E-DII were calculated based on a validated food frequency questionnaire. Results Individuals in the highest (most proinflammatory) quartile of the E-DII were at an increased risk of having poor overall sleep quality compared with the lowest quartile (odds ratio [OR] = 2.86; 95% confidence interval [95%CI]: 1.27–6.44). Regarding the individual domains of sleep quality, subjects in quartiles 3 and 4 of the E-DII were at an increased risk of having poor sleep efficiency compared with those in quartile 1 (OR = 2.49; 95%CI: 1.12–5.54; and OR = 2.52, 95%CI: 1.13–5.62 respectively). However, individuals in quartile 3 were at a reduced risk of having daytime dysfunction compared with those in the lowest quartile (OR = 0.44; 95%CI: 0.23–0.83). Conclusion The inflammatory potential of the diet seems to be related to sleep quality in our sample of Lebanese university students. Future prospective studies are required to further explore this association.
