If you frequently have trouble falling asleep or often wake up in the middle of the night and can’t doze off again, you have probably tried many different sleep aids – without success.

But did you know that several types of everyday food – something you already have in your kitchen – include natural “sleep inducting” ingredients that shoot you into eight hours of restful sleep?

Walnuts: These tasty nuts are rich in the amino acid tryptophan which helps produce melatonin and serotonin, two hormones that help you fall asleep faster.

Almonds: Another nut that can lull you to sleep, almonds are rich in the mineral magnesium that is essential for good sleep.

Cheese: You might have heard that a glass of warm milk is just the thing to help you sleep, but recent research suggests that cheese is better! Cheese has very high calcium content that helps produce tryptophan necessary for producing hormones that trigger sleep.

Lettuce: Lettuce is thought to be just perfect for a restful sleep. It contains ‘lactucarium’, a compound which has sedative properties. One way to get strong “sleeping effects” from lettuce is to simmer 3 – 4 lettuce leaves in water for about 15 minutes, and sip the water.

Tuna: Tuna is rich in Vitamin B6 that helps produce serotonin and melatonin and helps in providing restful sleep.

Cherries: Cherries are a natural source of the hormone melatonin that is responsible for sleep. Drinking cherry juice at night might help you sleep earlier.

Chamomile tea: Chamomile tea increases the amino acid glycine in the body. Glycine acts as a natural sedative and relaxes nerves and muscles to induce restful sleep. Mixing a little honey helps even more.

Chickpeas: Chickpeas are a good source of the amino acid tryptophan which helps produce hormones necessary for inducing sleep. Try having a dish of hummus or any other meal made of chickpeas to get some good shut eye in the night.
