Want To Sleep Better? Eat These Foods

Do you have trouble getting to sleep? I'm lucky. That's a rare occurrence for me. Up to 33% of adults experience some degree of insomnia, according to menshealth.com. The site recommends reexamining your diet. You should avoid caffeine in the late afternoon, as well as sugar. Alcohol disrupts your sleep patterns as well. It often causes people to awaken in the middle of the night, disrupting R.E.M. sleep. Eating certain foods can actually help provide relief. Walnuts, for instance, contain the sleep inducing hormone melatonin. The Omega 3 fatty acids in salmon are beneficial to deep sleep. The carbs in white rice help make you drowsy. Eggs are traditionally eaten for breakfast, but the vitamin D can aid sleep. Warm milk is a bed time tradition for many. There's a good reason. It contains tryptophan, the amino acid that's long been associated with Thanksgiving post turkey dinner drowsiness. Click this link for more.
