What drinks should you drink before bed to get a good night's sleep

The quality of sleep depends on many factors, including what we drink before bed. Some drinks can improve sleep, while others, on the contrary, can worsen it.

Greenpost writes about this. To improve sleep, it is recommended to avoid such pre-bedtime drinks as coffee, alcohol, energy drinks, citrus juices, and caffeinated beverages such as tea or cola.

  • Warm milk with cookies is a classic combination that helps you fall asleep. Some experts believe that this is due to the fact that milk contains tryptophan, which is converted in the body into melatonin, the sleep hormone. Others believe that the effect of warm milk is a placebo.
  • Banana smoothies are another healthy drink to drink before bed. Bananas contain tryptophan and magnesium, which help you relax and fall asleep.
  • Mint has a calming effect, so mint tea is a good option for an evening drink. Mint also helps lower blood pressure and normalize blood sugar levels, which can also have a positive effect on sleep quality.
  • Cherry juice contains melatonin, so it can help you fall asleep. A glass of cherry juice before bed can improve the quality of your sleep and make it deeper.
  • Yogurt also contains tryptophan, which helps you fall asleep. In addition, yogurt contains calcium, which is also essential for good sleep.
