Purpose: There is increased notion that daily diet has an important impact on health and disease. In this context, the relationship between nutrition and sleep is gaining increased research interest, particularly focusing on tryptophan, niacin and Vitamin B6. Vitamin B6 has an important role in the synthesis of several neurotransmitters (i.e. 5-HT, melatonin, norepinephrine and dopamine) crucial for CNS functioning. Melatonin and its precursor 5-HT are crucial in sleep regulation; however, although several foods contain 5-HT, dietary 5-HT cannot pass the blood-brain barrier. The system is therefore dependent on the 5-HT precursor tryptophan to be utilized for synthesis in the presence of a coenzyme derived from vitamin B6. Both tryptophan a...
