Association Between Dietary Magnesium Intake and Sleep Quality in Saudi University Students: A Cross-Sectional Study
Higher dietary magnesium intake was associated with better sleep quality, longer sleep duration, and reduced daytime dysfunction, highlighting the potential benefits of magnesium-rich diets for sleep health. Importantly, a significant sex disparity was observed in this university cohort, where females demonstrated poorer sleep quality than males. Therefore, dietary awareness programs that promote magnesium-rich food sources should be incorporated into student health initiatives to support improved sleep quality.
