TL;DR
This study examined the immediate influence of intravenous amino acids and glucose on sleep as measured by all-night EEG recording and further elucidates the effect of nutrition on sleep and supports certain theories as to the function of the main sleep component.
Abstract
This study examined the immediate influence of intravenous amino acids and glucose on sleep as measured by all-night EEG recording. The study on 9 normal female subjects was of a latin-square design. Slow wave sleep (SWS) was increased by both solutions whilst dream sleep (REM) was decreased by amino acids and increased by glucose. Total sleep time was not affected. Subjective feelings as to restlessness, quality and depth of sleep under the impact of the various solutions were gathered. The work further elucidates the effect of nutrition on sleep and supports certain theories as to the function of the main sleep component.

The electroencephalographic records from 43 subjects who slept for four consecutive nights in a laboratory environment showed that the first night of laboratory sleep contains more awake periods and less Stage I-rapid eye movement sleep.

The symposium reported in this book presents the current research bearing on three very closely related aspects of sleep: Its physiology, its pathology, and the use of drugs in the management of sleep disorders.

Both high-carb carbohydrate/low-fat and low-carbohydrate/high-fat isocaloric diets, especially the former, were associated with significantly more rapid-eye-movement (R.E.M.) sleep than was the normal balanced diet, emphasising the importance of daily diet for the following night's sleep.
BMJWeight gain and the sleeping electroencephalogram: study of 10 patients with anorexia nervosa.
102 Citations1975J. Hubert Lacey, Alex Harley Crisp +3 more
It is reaffirmed that insomnia, and especially early morning waking, is associated with low body weight in anorexia nervosa, and their implications are discussed with particular reference to a hypothetical association between various anabolic profiles and the need for differing components of sleep.
Behavioral BiologyTheoretical view of REM sleep function: Maintenance of catecholamine systems in the central nervous system
91 Citations1974Warren C. Stern, Peter J. Morgane
It is suggested that the mechanism of REM is primarily cholinergic and that the locus coeruleus may be the site of interaction between the catecholamine-REM function and the Cholinergic-REM mechanism.

Sleep after an inert capsule was compared with sleep after a hot, bedtime, milk-cereal drink (Horlicks) and in the latter group the improvement associated with Horlicks was most apparent late in the night and it increased with repeated administration.

An initial observation that insomnia, especially early morning waking, is a feature of anorexia nervosa has been confirmed and a further proposition that the insomnia is more closely related to the nutritional disturbance than to the mood state is confirmed using standardized measures of weight, sleep and mood.

The effects on sleep of a hot drink of milk and Horlicks were compared with those of hot water taken before retiring by medical student volunteers and it was found that Horlicks reduced the number of small movements made during sleep.

Sleep studies and psychiatric examinations were made on three patients with inoperable malignancies whose illnesses were being managed with an experimental low phenylalanine-tyrosine diet, supporting the findings of Jouvet suggesting that norepinephrine has a role in the maintenance of REM sleep.

The patient was a 65-year-old housewife when chronic granulocytic leukaemia was diagnosed in July 1964 and remained asymptomatic and in haernatological remission until early June, when she developed a fatal fulminating Escherichia coli septicaemia.
