About this trial
The purpose of this study is to identify if healthy cookies high in linoleic acid can change sleep quality and sleep architecture, blood fatty acid composition and be consumed with high compliance after eight weeks of consumption. The hypothesis is that consumption of healthy cookies for 8 weeks will improve sleep quality, increase linoleic acid in the blood and be consumed with greater than 80% compliance.
