What are the best foods for sleep?

A nutritious diet and quality sleep are both essential for optimal health. But when it comes to getting a good night’s rest, certain foods may be better than others. In this video, we take a closer look at which foods and nutrients may promote better sleep.

Research has shown that a healthy diet that includes a range of nutrients is necessary for the body to function properly. Diets that are limited in certain nutrients, such as vitamins and minerals, are linked to insufficient sleep.

I adopted a carnivore diet and fixed my sleep issues, depression, anxiety and as a result of cutting out carbohydrates my blood glucose is back down where it should be.
So now when i wake up, i actually feel well rested and can spring out of bed at the crack of dawn, something i've been struggling with for 18 years.
To people struggling with sleep. Change your diet, reduce the carbs, fruit and everything that contains sugar. Elevated blood glucose is a major factor when it comes to feeling lethargic.

Not exactly food but I use "wild crafted" reishi mushroom in dual extract. Suppliments of reishi can be found everywhere but I am NOT recommending that as I know nothing about them. I forage wild ganoderma tsugae. Our North American native reishi. I make a dual extract ( which I do sell) and take a little before bed and I sleep like a baby. If anyone wants to give it a try lmk or get some mushrooms and make your own tea or tincture or dual extract. It really works and also has many other benefits. Please do some research, reishi, chaga, lionsmane, turkeytail mushrooms.

Nutritions have told me you shouldn’t eat right before you go to bed.

[alisonewing]

Lots of helpful advice - I'm going to start putting them into practice!

What you failed to mention is that both Keewee and tart cherry are diuretics. I took your advice, ate them before bed. Two nights in a row, and I was up peeing all night.

It’s true every day I eat kiwi, and nuts…❤❤❤

Regarding fruit consumption before bed, wouldn’t that risk elevating blood sugar, and be contraindicated to people who already have high blood sugar?

[SARAIHJ]

The amount will vary depending on the person.

Will eating walnuts, Brazil nuts, hazelnuts, macadamias a couple of hours before bed interfere with sleep or wake you up in the middle of the night?

[deemer]

Good advice but those foods are rare in the philippines

[adelinedenis]

Tisane NO...because you have to go to the badroom 3 times during the night, even if you drink them only in the afternoon...

At 2:40 that plant is Status not Lavender.
