Tried and True. Cochrane Library Research Library Evidence Utilised in this Article
Advice for a good diet and sleep has been around since as long as I can remember. I remember hearing "get your rest" and eat a good hot meal as a school kid. This advice still stands strong and remains true today.
According to the Cochrane Library Research Article, the database for the highest quality research articles. While some insights are required to sift necessary information out of the papers written in research jargon, I can bring the info to life for you here clear as day (It's not uncommon that research articles need to be read multiple times to "get it.")
Based on my experimentation and Cochrane's research article linked internally above in this article, sleep, and diet significantly improve my functioning. I have more clarity, sharp focus, and better manage my life. It's not a cookie-cutter approach; So the number one thing I would recommend is after finding out the optimal amount of hours you need to sleep, try noting what you are like without those optimal hours of sleep. Also, how do you feel when you eat certain foods? Keep a short log, written in blurbs about food eaten per meal and the mood you felt after consuming each meal and snack of the day.
When I eat better, "everything in moderation," eat in a calorie deficit, eat lots of home-like meals when away from home, and drink lots of water; my mind is a clearer vessel. I'm so much happier, and my work is productive and so is my ability to adapt. You can experiment on this too.
