Do you have trouble sleeping?

Here we offer you snacks that will help you get a good night's sleep.

In this report, published by the Russian FB website, author Pavel Lebedev said that sleeping on an empty stomach is harmful to health, as the body in all its states - sleeping or awake - needs energy.

The same applies to the brain, which needs energy during sleep, as it burns dozens of calories per hour.

The author pointed out that eating snacks that do not exceed the number of calories provided by 250 calories after six in the evening will not make you gain weight.

He recommends eating foods that boost melatonin production, or the so-called "sleep hormone", to ensure you sleep adequately at night and wake up in a good mood.

The writer reviewed the foods that are recommended to be eaten to help you sleep, and promote both physical and psychological health.

These foods contain tryptophan, an amino acid that contributes to the production of melatonin, which plays an important role in the normal sleep-wake cycle.

Here are some of the best snacks to eat an hour before bed:

  • Poultry: including chicken and turkey.

  •  Fish: Because it contains a high percentage of vitamin B6, especially salmon, tuna and halibut, which helps produce melatonin.

  • Yogurt is light and contains calcium.

  • Bananas: They are rich in potassium, which helps you sleep well at night. Bananas also contain tryptophan.

  • Whole grains: Whole grains are known to be an excellent source of magnesium, which works to combat insomnia.

What else do you do to enjoy a sufficient amount of deep sleep?

Poor sleep quality is a common problem, with one in three people in the world having trouble sleeping.

To sleep well, you should go to bed early.

The temperature of the bedroom is also an important factor, as the coolness of the place helps regulate body temperature.

Also, taking a bath before bed and minimizing the use of electronic devices ensure adequate sleep.
