Abstract
In our society, beer is recognized to be a component of the Mediterranean diet and moderate intake of this beverage provides numerous beneficial nutrients. However, in the last few decades, beer has been considered not only from a purely nutritional point of view but also in the context of health promotion. Multiple components contribute to the preventive potential of beer against bone and circulatory diseases and cancer. The present article discusses the possible benefits of moderate beer intake from a new perspective: that of regulating sleep due to the sedative action of hops, one of the components of beer.
