Abstract Purpose for Review Sleep deprivation and insomnia are associated with mortality morbidity worldwide. A pharmacological agent that improves subjective objective measures of sleep, without significant side effects, remains nebulous. However, initial randomised controlled trials suggest Prunus cerasus (tart cherry) ingestion may be beneficial. This systematic review meta-analysis evaluates the effect on sleep. Recent Findings We identified a total 277 unique records, from which 8 studies low-moderate methodological quality were included in review. Meta-analysis subjectively recalled sleep efficiency (SE) time (TST) not significant. Objective SE, however, was significantly higher cherry cohort when compared to placebo an size 0.63 (95% CI 0.29–0.97, P < 0.01). There low heterogeneity ( I 2 = 0%). TST cohorts, pooled 1.21 0.83–1.58, high 81.5%). Summary Whilst individuals experience benefit, there is evidence support improvements using measures. Tart next frontier medicine warrants further research.
