THESE FOODS CAN HELP YOU FALL ASLEEP IF YOU ARE ALWAYS HAVING TROUBLE SLEEPING

If you are finding it difficult to sleep at taking these foods will make you not only fall asleep but make you feel relaxed.

#1.  ALMONDS:

Almonds contain magnesium and provide protein which can help maintain a stable blood sugar level while you are sleeping. Clinical Psychologist Michael Breus suggests snacking on a handful of almonds before bed.

 #2.  BANANAS:

Can't sleep? Eat a banana, says nutritional biochemist Shawn Talbott. They’re high in potassium, which may calm restless legs and help prevent nighttime leg cramps. Plus, bananas also provide magnesium, which helps relax muscles and nerves and promotes healthy circulation and digestion, according to Michael Breus, a clinical psychologist and author of “The Sleep Doctor’s Diet Plan: Lose Weight Through Better Sleep.” Peel and eat a banana or make a smoothie. Just cut it up and blend it with your favorite type of milk and ice.

 #3.  FISH:

Planning for a good night’s rest can start with a sleep-friendly dinner, says clinical psychologist Michael Breus. A good main course is salmon because it offers a healthy dose of omega-3 fatty acids, which have been shown to reduce surges of stress hormones and promote restfulness, according to the UCLA Center for East-West Medicine.

 #4.  SWEET POTATOES:

Sweet potatoes are a good source of potassium, which relaxes muscles and nerves and aids circulation and digestion, says clinical psychologist Michael Breus. In addition to potassium, sweet potatoes are a good source of carbs, but “half of a sweet potato will give you enough of both,” says nutritional biochemist Shawn Talbott.

 

#5.  EGGS:
Eggs are a high-protein snack that can help keep your blood sugar levels stable so you can sleep through the night. Adding carbs allows the tryptophan from the protein to be more readily available.

 

#6.  MILK:
Soy products have been known to make people fall asleep faster and deeper,” says clinical psychologist Michael Breus. If you choose soy milk and are concerned about GMOs, look for an organic brand.

 

#7.  OATMEAL:
A bowl of oatmeal packs plenty of calcium, magnesium and potassium, all of which may help make you fall asleep more quickly. A deficiency in magnesium may make it more difficult to stay in slumber. Go easy on the sugar as too much before bed can have the opposite effect.
