For some people, falling asleep quickly is a challenge. Nutritionists have worked with psychologists to develop a range of products to help you fall asleep faster.
Instructions
Step 1
Bananas are rich in potassium and are also a good source of vitamin B6, which is needed to make melatonin, which helps you fall asleep.
Step 2
Cherries are one of the few natural foods to contain melatonin, a chemical that helps control our body's internal clocks, so cherry juice before bed can help you sleep more peacefully.
Step 3
Nuts are fortified with vitamin B6. Also, nuts contain a huge amount of sedatives for the nervous system. A couple of nuts before bed and you can control yourself better.
Step 4
Fresh herbs can have a calming effect on the body. Mint and basil, for example, contain chemicals that reduce stress. Try including these herbs in your dinner. Avoid red and black peppers at night, as they can make you nervous.
Step 5
Protein-rich foods contain tryptophan, amino acids that increase serotonin levels. Protein is found in foods such as beans, fish, herbs, and eggs. Eating tryptophan at the end of the day will help produce melatonin and serotonin for good sleep. They will speed up the onset of sleep, reduce the level of spontaneous awakenings, and help increase the amount of energy during sleep.
