- Abstract
Although it is known that adequate sleep is crucial for maintaining a healthy lifestyle, approximately 30% of the general population has experienced insomnia. Thus, a better understanding of the relationship between food components and sleep quality is needed. North Pacific krill, Euphausia pacifica , is rich in marine n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in phospholipid form as well as 8 R -hydroxy-eicosapentanoic acid. Here, emulsified oil powder derived from this krill was used in a trial involving 64 participants to assess its potential to enhance sleep quality. Consumption of the powdered emulsified oil was found to reduce drowsiness upon waking and enhance fatigue recovery, and for participants aged 40 and above, an improvement in sleep cycle was observed. In conclusion, consumption of krill emulsified oil powder was effective in enhancing sleep quality for individuals with partial sleep restrictions.
