Do not get it twisted, the brain is a working engine that needs a respite at a point. It is highly essential.

Studies have shown a good sleep at night helps improve the wellness of the brain and ultimately boost the immune system.

On the other hand, poor sleep has been scientifically proven to impair brain functions and decision-making skills.

Insomnia, as many would agree, has made some folks inure dependence on drugs/pills, sometimes medically unadvisable, and could pose a graver health risk in future.

Research further shows the food/drink we consume before bedtime is one deciding factor in getting a goodnight sleep.

As a natural therapy, and for a smoother night rest, below are some foods/drinks to take before we hit the sack.

Ginger & Lemon Tea

Both ginger and lemon have a relaxing effect on the brain, which helps relieve stress and improve sleep patterns. Lemon is rich in vitamin C, a lack of which studies have shown to promote insomnia.

A cup of ginger-lemon tea prior bedtime helps you sleep better.

Honey

Honey helps the brain release melatonin, which is the hormones the body uses to restore itself during sleep. A teaspoon of honey at night helps boost the snooze.

Yogurt

Yogurt is rich in tryptophan, a sleep-enhancing amino acid the body uses to produce serotonin and melatonin, both of which are brain chemicals involved with inducing sleepiness and relaxation.

Banana

Bananas contain a high dose of magnesium and potassium, both of which help to relax muscles and nerves.

Bananas are also rich in carbohydrates, provide enough tryptophan, and are converted to serotonin and melatonin, the very sleep-inducing agents that keep you well-rested.

Milk

Medically, the best time to take milk is night. And let us not forget milk contains a variety of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins, that may promote sleep in different ways.

A glass of milk has a calming effect on the brain. Milk also contains calcium, a lack of which retards good sleep.
