However, the claims about walnuts improving sleep
are not supported by much evidence. Further
studies are required to establish the role of
walnuts in promoting sleep.   White Rice White
rice is widely consumed as a staple food in many
countries. It is low in vitamins and minerals but
has high carbohydrate content. The high carb and
lack of fibre contribute to its high glycaemic
index (GI). It is a measure that ranks foods
according to their effect on your blood sugar.
6
According to studies, eating foods with a high
glycaemic index can help improve sleep quality
and increase sleep duration. Even though white
rice helps in improving sleep, you should eat it
in moderation due to its lack of fibre and
nutrients.   Oatmeal Oatmeal is a popular
breakfast choice for many.  But if youre someone
struggling for a good nights sleep you should
include oats in your dinner meal. Whole grains,
like oats, are naturally rich in the amino acid
tryptophan, which your body uses to make
serotonin and melatonin. Melatonin relaxes your
body and helps you fall asleep faster.
7
Oatmeal also helps establish and maintain steady
sleep cycles. Similar to rice, it is high in
carbs and raises your blood sugar naturally
inducing sleep. You can enjoy oatmeal any time of
the day and not only as a breakfast
meal.   Chamomile Tea Chamomile tea is a popular
herbal tea that offers several health benefits.
It is a rich source of different antioxidants.
According to some studies, the antioxidant apigeni
n present in chamomile tea can promote sleep and
reduce insomnia by binding to certain receptors
in your brain. Drinking chamomile tea also
reduces symptoms of depression improving overall
sleep quality.

Apart from these, there are several other foods
that may help you get a better quality of sleep.
Some of these are kiwi, almonds, milk, cherry
juice, cereal and leafy greens. Eat 1-2 hours
before bed to get the full benefits of such
sleep-enhancing foods. Do you know any other
foods that help you get a better sleep? Let us

need to take medicines in case of chronic
insomnia. Doctors consultation is advisable in
such cases.
