Conclusion:
The results from this study showed that there is a significant relationship between dietary health scores, such as HEI and DASH score and sleep quality derived from PQSI in staff of AJUMS. Also, the results showed that increasing DII score, which is caused by increasing the consumption of inflammatory foods, reduces the quality of sleep. From this article it can be concluded that one of the ways to improve the quality of sleep can be a change in diet, especially shifting to healthy eating patterns.
