Best Drinks Before Bed To Help With Sleep!

Chamomile tea: Known as the “night-time” tea, chamomile is best acknowledged for its ability to induce a good night’s sleep that is as free of nightmares and interruptions as can be. It's also known to treat those with mild anxiety disorders.

Almond milk: lots of vitamins; A, B, D and E, omega fatty acids, fibre and nutrients such as iron, calcium, copper, zinc, riboflavin and magnesium. It is this last element, magnesium, that has been identified as being vital to assisting the body in settling down at night and in sleep regulation.

Mint tea: Peppermint tea can be used in the management of anxiety and depression while its regular consumption promotes remarkable improvements in quality and duration of sleep.

Carob: known as the 'healthy chocolate' carob has been known to replace cocoa powder and chocolate in cakes, cookies and other baked goods. I don't have enough room to list all of it's benefits. Carob will calm your senses and soothe your body to ensure a beneficial and restful sleep.

Chia seeds: containing tryptophan, a known drug that interacts with melatonin and serotonin ( the natural drugs in your brain that makes you sleepy and happy) they're perfect to consume before bed. It can be mixed in anything; it's tasteless. I mix it in yoghurt.

Raw honey: raises blood glucose- not the kind you buy at the store- It allows the liver to have its fill of glycogen which promotes relaxation, facilitates more restorative sleep and refuels the brain while we sleep. It also contains tryptophan.

Tart cherry: contains natural melatonin, which is known to induce sleepiness during nights and wakefulness and efficient metabolism during the day. The interaction of relatively high levels of melatonin with an equally high number of anti-inflammatory agents is associated with gainful sleep.
