Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce our call for papers for the 2nd Edition of the Special Issue on the topic “Sleep and Diet: Exploring Interactive Associations on Human Health”. We invite researchers, clinicians, and scholars to submit original research articles, reviews, and commentaries that address, but are not limited to, the epidemiological, clinical, and mechanistic evidence on the bidirectional links between sleep and diet and their impact on overall health, well-being, as well as tissue/organ (dys)functions. Interventions targeting sleep and diet to improve health outcomes are also welcome.
We look forward to your contributions to this Special Issue, which we believe will significantly advance our understanding of how the interactions between sleep and dietary patterns influence human health.
Dr. Egeria Scoditti
