Sleep is extremely important, especially for young people, yet, no one really takes it seriously. The worst part is even if you go to bed at the right time, your mind ends up thinking about million things and stressing over scenarios that may never happen, which eventually leads to staying awake till 3 AM.
So, instead of seeing the doctor about it and worrying about it, what if you just tried to eat a few different things before bed? Some people try to cut down on caffeine, and others choose alcohol that will definitely make them sleep.
Our stomach, however, has an odd connection with our brain and its ability to sleep. So, let’s fill it up with delicious foods, and then have a smooth sleep, shall we?
#1 – Chickpeas
So, what about having hummus as a night snack? Yes, please.
If you have difficulty falling asleep, then just head to your kitchen, bring out all the Chickpeas you have, and enjoy them till you snore. These peas have tryptophan, which is the same chemical that turkeys have.
Our bodies convert that chemical into vitamin B, which can help us relax. Also, it creates Serotonin, and it is a hormone that is associated with our melatonin and sleep levels.
#2 – Honey
Scientists recently discovered that honey contains a natural sugar that can raise our insulin levels while allowing tryptophan to enter our brains more easily.
For better results, you can add the honey to warm tea in order to relax your muscles and increase the level of your “sleep” hormone for a more calm night away from any nightmares, or better, stress!
#3 – Chamomile Tea
Speaking of tea, here is the one that can totally help you relax and sleep within minutes. Chamomile tea will increase glycine, which is a chemical that can help you unwind your muscles and nerves, and leading you to sleep. Basically, the Chamomile tea works like a sedative, and if you added honey to it, then the result will be quicker and better.
