Benefits of IF/TRE aside, there is some evidence that sleep quality is improved by consuming a small amount of complex carbohydrates near bedtime. But, honestly, the evidence is all over the place. I’m sure genetics plays a large role in this. Given the time of year, have you considered a SAD light? I use one every morning during the work week. There’s a pretty decent evidence base that it improves both seasonal depression scores, as well as sleep quality. Worth a shot.
