Do you suffer from insomnia? Here are some foods that help to "defeat" your problem

The food you eat and the timing of your meals can affect how easily you fall asleep and how restful your night is.

A light meal before bed is therefore recommended, especially for people suffering from insomnia, as a small amount of food in the body can help you sleep and prevent any discomfort related to hunger.

Kora Habinakova, sleep expert from SleepSeeker advises that it should be a light meal.

Although everyone reacts to food differently, there are some general rules that can be followed.

Although consuming large amounts of protein just before bed is not recommended, in moderation, foods such as turkey can help improve sleep quality and reduce anxiety. Turkey contains tryptophan, an amino acid that increases melatonin levels in the body and aids sleep.

Including fish, such as salmon or tuna, in your evening meals is an easy way to increase your intake of vitamin D. Vitamin D deficiency increases the risk of sleep disorders and difficulty falling asleep.

Replacing one of the daily coffees with herbal tea, such as chamomile, contributes to improving the quality of sleep. Chamomile tea reduces feelings of anxiety, leading to more restful sleep. In addition, it contains antioxidants that are said to reduce insomnia.

Adding a small amount of honey to your afternoon snack or evening meal will have a positive effect on sleep. Honey contains glucose, which can lower brain levels of orexin, a neuropeptide that regulates alertness.
