The Role of Diet in Sleep and
Depression
Makena Dyer, B.Sc. and Joannie Dobbs, PhD, CNS
Human Nutrition, Food & Animal Sciences
University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa
PCCHA Annual Conference, October 13-15, 2014, Seattle, WA
Learning Objectives
• Describe the relationship between sleep
difficulty and depression
• Discuss research relating essential nutrients to
sleep difficulty and depression
• Identify biomarkers linked to sleep difficulty and
depression
• Identify appropriate/helpful questions regarding
a patient’s diet that could indicate a role in
sleep and depression issues
The Partnerships in Mental Health
• Dr Alan Hawk, M.D.
– Psychiatrist for University Health Services at Mānoa
triggered the initial exploration into the diet / mind
relationship
The Partnerships in Mental Health
• Discussions with Dr. Hawk and Sue Myhre –
nurse practitioner led to the development of a
nutrition assessment tool. This tool
incorporated many of the health conditions
that are seen by multiple practitioners but
could have a link to subclinical malnutrition.

Role of Nutrients in Sleep and Mood
• Nutrients are involved in biochemical
processes
• Important process for sleep and mood is
neurotransmitter synthesis

What else did we find about
Insomnia and Depression?
• Females are not like males
– Greater prevalence in females than males
• May persist even with antidepressant use
• For females, antidepressant use with
persistent symptoms is associated with lower
intakes of certain nutrients

Questions to Ask in Clinic
• Are you restricting calories?
– Concerned about weight?
• What drives your food choices?
– Avoiding certain foods can lead to essential
nutrient imbalances?
• Vegan diet
• “Clean” eating
Summary
• Insomnia and depression can be due to any
of several factors
• Neurochemicals and antidepressants are just
part of the picture
• Diet and nutrition may address factors not
addressed by antidepressants
