7 Foods That Help You Sleep
5. Cherries
Don’t despair if the season of cherries is still a couple of months away. Dried cherries and cherry juice are good enough substitutes to fresh cherries and will have a sound sleep at night. Grapes too have the same effect though to a lesser extent. Cherries contain melatonin which regulates sleep and hence should be an important part of your diet if you want to sleep well.
6. Cereal
Carbohydrate rich foods give you a sudden burst of energy before an onset of sleepiness. Hence any food product containing complex carbohydrates is good for sleep. Besides, you can always add fruits to your bowl of cereal like cherries and bananas making it tastier and better for inducing sleep.
7. Herbal tea
Apart from its other good effects on your health, herbal tea also assists your slumber. Be it green tea or chamomile tea, it ensures you sleep well at night. But try to avoid ginseng tea as it seems to have the exact opposite effect on most people.
