Objective: To explore the differences in dietary patterns by meeting sleep recommendations. Methods: Data from adults 20-60 years from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey Data (2005-16) were used to assess dietary patterns and self-reported sleep duration. Adults (n= 20,323) were stratified by hours of sleep: ≥7 (meeting sleep recommendations) and <7 (not meeting recommendations). Dietary intakes were estimated from a 24-hr dietary recall, with collection of self-reported eating occasion and time of day. Mean dietary intakes were calculated from the total daily intake, including late night eating occasions and meal skipping. Snack calories were aggregated to obtain foods consumed at snacks and were used to calculate the percent of energy each food category contributed to total snack calories. Data were weighted to create a nationally representative sample. Results: Those not meeting sleep recommendations were significantly more likely to report breakfast and lunch skipping and late night eating than those meeting sleep recommendations. Intakes of energy, protein, carbohydrate, saturated fat, added sugars, and caffeine from snacks were significantly higher for those not meeting sleep recommendations. The leading contributors to energy from snacks were non-alcoholic beverages, mixed dishes, and sugars. Of participants reporting late night eating, those not meeting sleep recommendations consumed significantly more energy, carbohydrate, protein, added sugar, and caffeine. Conclusion: Sleep is a modifiable risk factor for disease, and changes in dietary patterns may be one explanation for increased risk of chronic disease in those sleeping less.
