Study Finds Almonds Linked to Improved Self-Reported Sleep Quality but Limited Objective Effects
A 2026 Indian study involving 175 adults found that daily consumption of 60 grams of almonds was associated with self-reported improvements in sleep quality, including faster sleep onset and longer duration. However, objective sleep measurements showed no significant differences between almond and control groups. Experts note almonds contain nutrients like magnesium and tryptophan that may support nervous system function, but caution that almonds should not be viewed as a standalone solution for sleep issues.
