Sleep is important for health. Drinks and foods can affect the quality of your sleep.

In this article, we will tell you what is good to eat for good, deep sleep.

What foods are good for sleep

Turkey, oats, dairy products and tomatoes are good for sleep and circadian rhythms.

According to a study published in the journal Nutrients, participants who received omega-3 supplements fell asleep faster and stayed asleep longer than those who received a placebo.

Omega-3 is found in seafood, fatty fish, canola oil, walnuts, and avocado, chia and flax seeds.

Vitamin D also has a positive effect on human sleep.

You can include salmon or trout, mushrooms, chicken eggs, and milk in your diet.

Magnesium deficiency is associated with sleep disorders.

Add spinach, beans, yogurt, bananas, nuts and seeds to your plate.

Bananas also contain tryptophan, a substance that causes drowsiness.

In addition, bananas (thanks to the same tryptophan) stimulate the production of serotonin, a neurotransmitter responsible for a good mood and helping to relax. 

Bananas should be eaten no later than an hour before bedtime.

Previously, we talked about why cravings for salty foods occur.
