6 FOODS THAT HELP YOU SLEEP


If you're a restless sleeper, try eating any of these foods a few hours before bedtime

1. BANANA
Bananas are high in potassium, a mineral that is essential to a having a deep night's sleep.


Bananas also contain tryptophan and magnesium, making this fruit nature's little sedative.

2. DAIRY
warm glass of milk helps you sleep better.



Dairy is a natural source of sleep-inducing tryptophan, and the calcium content of dairy has a nice booster effect on the amino acid.

3. NUTS
A handful of nuts are a great bedtime snack because they help boost serotonin levels in the brain and are an excellent source of magnesium and tryptophan.



Walnuts, flax seeds, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds contain the highest levels of the natural sedative.

4. YOGURT
A small bowl of yogurt with a few of your favorite toppings added in may be just what you need to fall asleep.



That's because yogurt contains calcium, which is needed for processing sleep-inducing hormones trytophan and melatonin.

5. EGGS



Eggs are also a good source of tryptophan, so have a hard-boiled egg alongside a cup of tea or a poached egg on whole grain bread to combine the power of your favorite sleep-inducing foods.

6. WHOLE GRAIN
If you're feeling a little restless before bedtime, go for a piece of whole grain bread or toast.



Whole grains encourage the production of insulin, which helps neural pathways get tryptophan — an amino acid that acts as a sedative — to the brain.
