Brief summary

We aimed at examining the association between vitamin B12 status and sleep quality of healthy people in Melbourne between age of 18-65 years with diverse dietary plans and life style at a community-based setting. Based on the known roles of B12 on proper neuronal functions and the fact that one of the symptoms of its deficiency is tiredness, we hypothesis that B12 plays crucial role in maintaining good sleep quality in humans.
