MY TOP 4 FOODS TO EAT & WHY THEY WILL HELP YOU SLEEP

.

1- WALNUTS & ALMONDS

Tryptophan is an amino acid found in walnuts that aids in the production of serotonin & melatonin, the hormones that are huge sleep boosters, whilst almonds are rich in magnesium which has been found by researchers to aid in getting you off to sleep.

.

2- LETTUCE

Not only is a salad a super healthy food option, but lettuce is also high in lactucarium which is known for its sedative properties & in some cases has even been used as a substitute for opium! These crisp leaves will sedate the nervous system and ensure you get a good night's sleep.

.

3- VALERIAN TEA!

You've probably heard that chamomile tea is a good sleep aid thanks to the calming & soothing effect on the body, however the pretty looking herb valerian, might be a better option as studies have found it to not only reduce the amount of time it takes to fall asleep, but also improves sleep quality too.

.

4- TUNA

Tuna is high in vitamin B6 which is vital in your body's production of melatonin & serotonin. Melatonin is the hormone responsible for the regulation of the body clock & is usually triggered by a change in light, whilst serotonin regulates sleep and calms the body.

.

EXTRA TOP TIPS to boost your sleep into overdrive!

• Switch off your mobile, tv, pc at least 30 mins before bed.

• Avoid alcohol as a way to make you drowsy, alcohol interrupts quality sleep patterns.

• Do a physical workout every day to deal with stress levels & make you feel good.

.

Sleep well and have good dreams.
