Protein power: a new way to beat sleeplessness in seniors?
NCT ID NCT05400005
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether eating more protein—from either animal (casein) or plant (soy) sources—can improve sleep quality in adults aged 60 to 85 in Singapore. Fifty-four participants will follow a higher-protein diet and have their sleep measured using questionnaires and activity trackers. The goal is to find a simple, non-drug way to help older adults sleep better.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple dietary change to help older adults sleep better.

This is a small, early-stage trial with only 54 participants. Results may not apply to everyone, and the effect of protein on sleep is still uncertain.
