Summary

This study tests whether eating pistachios daily and receiving coaching on healthy habits can improve sleep quality in midlife women aged 45-65 who have poor sleep. Participants will eat either pistachios or potato chips for a month and attend a one-hour coaching session. Researchers will measure sleep quality, alertness, body composition, and blood pressure before and after the intervention.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: pistachios and healthy habit coaching
What this could lead to: If successful, this could point toward a simple, non-drug way to improve sleep quality in midlife women.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage study with only 72 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The interventions are mild, so major sleep improvements are unlikely.
