Five Foods That Make You Sleepy And Best To Help You Sleep

If you could pick foods that may help you get the best sleep possible, would you? And if you knew which foods may hinder your restful slumber, would you avoid them?

According to the WebMd, though the science is not solid, being mindful of what you eat and drink before bed may help.

Below, we discuss some foods and reasons why a person might feel tired after eating it.

1. Cherries

Cherries are a natural source of melatonin, a type of hormone to restore a person’s sleep quality. So, if you want to eat cherries, make sure you eat them before bed and not during lunch at the office. Okay?

If you have sleep problems (insomnia), it is also good to practice eating cherries regularly because it can help to restore a good night’s sleep.

2. Pasta

Yes! Carbohydrates are indeed nutritious as a supplier of energy to the body. Once you eat a carbohydrate food source, it will boost your blood sugar pressure.

Shortly after it is digested, the insulin level in the body will drop causing a person to become drowsy or tired.

3. White Bread

Just like pasta, white bread is also a source of carbohydrates that are often taken at breakfast. So be careful because it will make your body tired later.

This is because white bread is a kind of processed carbohydrate source. Not even with whole grain bread. Maybe you can replace white bread with oatmeal bread after this.

4. Vegetable Salad (Lettuce)

Believe it or not, salads can affect your brain just like “opioids”. It contains a type of sedative called “lactucin”, which is often used in study rats to calm and reduce the pain of the animal.

5. Bananas

Bananas are rich in potassium which can help promote nerve function and heart health. However, it is also high in magnesium, which is a type of need that the human body needs – helps smooth the sleep process.

Mark Hyman, Founder of UltraWellness Centre calls magnesium a “relaxation mineral”. So, if you find it difficult to sleep at night, try eating bananas.
