Trying to get more shut-eye??

    you fall asleep faster and sleep more soundly.
  • Many foods contain naturally occurring substances
    that will leave you rested and restored. Load up
    on these foods two hours before bedtime to give
    your body enough time to properly digest.

Warm Milk
  • Drinking a warm glass of milk can definitely help
    bring a satisfying sleep, because it contain
    tryptophan, an amino acid which converts into
    serotonin that induces calming effects in the
    brain.
  • Disturbed sleep patterns can also be caused by
    the lack of calcium. Milk products like yogurt
    and cheese are rich in calcium and help the brain
    release the sleep-inducing melatonin hormone

Almonds
  • Almonds are a great sleep supporter which
    contains a good amount of magnesium that will
    help you sleep more soundly.
  • They contain melatonin, a hormone that works as
    body's bio clock and helps in regulating
    sleep-wake cycles. Eating them can increase your
    blood levels of the hormone, and help you catch
    more quality shut-eye.

    magnesium and potassium which are natural muscle

    symptoms and to get enough sleep.

  • The natural sugars present in honey increase the

    relax the body and youre primed and ready for
    some restorative shut-eye.
