It is important to eat well to sleep tight, as you can’t eat anything when you’re asleep. Let’s have a look at the best food for a good night’s sleep and the food that will keep you awake. A balance of protein and healthy fats will allow you to keep your blood sugar level and sleep through the night. These foods will help you create calming results for deep sleep.

Best Foods for Sleep Better :

Warm Milk :

Milk has some tryptophan, an amino acid that has a sedative-like effect, and calcium, which helps the brain use tryptophan.

Popcorn :

Popcorn helps create the sleep-inducing neurotransmitter serotonin in our brains; it can be helpful in falling asleep. But skip the butter and oil; air-popped is best.

Almonds :

Almonds contain magnesium, which promotes both sleep and muscle relaxation. They help promote sleep by switching you from your alert adrenaline cycle to your rest-and-digest cycle

Cherries : 

Cherries the yummy fruit contains range of vitamins such as Vitamin C, A, and also contains potassium. A cup of cherry juice, when taken at bed time helps you get better sleep. Cherries also contain natural-source of melatonin that regulates sleep.

Honey :

Add a drizzle of honey to warm milk or herbal tea a few hours before you plan on heading to bed. That little bit of glucose lowers levels of orexin, a neurotransmitter that raises your level of alertness.
