Forget warm milk. A new study from the University of Pennsylvania says that fish may be the key to a good night\u2019s sleep.<\/p>\n

The paper,\u00a0published Thursday in\u00a0Scientific Reports<\/em>, found an association between regular fish consumption and high sleep quality among Chinese schoolchildren, likely thanks to the omega-3 fatty acids found in fish. Largely\u00a0as a result of that improved sleep, the researchers found, the children also scored higher on IQ tests.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a relationship between fish consumption and higher cognitive functioning. What what we document here is that it\u2019s the better sleep that explains the relationship,\u201d says Adrian Raine, one of the paper\u2019s authors and a professor of criminology, psychiatry and psychology at Penn. \u201cFrom A to B to C: From fish consumption to better sleep to higher cognitive functioning.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0The researchers asked 541 schoolchildren in China between ages 9 and 11 to describe their eating habits, including how often they ate fish. Their parents, meanwhile, were asked to answer questions about the kids\u2019 sleep patterns. Researchers then administered IQ tests when the children turned 12.They found links between eating fish regularly \u2014 the more, the better \u2014 and both improved sleep and higher IQ scores. But, Raine explains, it appears that many of the cognitive benefits can be traced back to bedtime. \u201cThe brain is so much more plastic early on in child development,\u201d he says. \u201cWe might anticipate that fish consumption earlier in life may be particularly beneficial for a child\u2019s sleep and cognitive functioning.\u201d<\/p>\n
