when you think about a Thanksgiving dinner you can't help a picture of the turkey right we always blame the turkey for the food coma that follows but what if I told you that the turkey's tryptophan making you tired was just a tall tale hi I'm Faith while there are foods that help you sleep turkey actually doesn't top the list in fact it's more likely the amount of food you eat at Thanksgiving is what really makes you tired and since eating an entire Thanksgiving dinner every night isn't realistic let's instead look at six foods that can help you get a good night's sleep the Kiwi packed into these little fruits are vitamins minerals and antioxidants and each one is full of potassium and folate so our brain can better produce serotonin so this may explain why people who ate kiwis before bed both fell asleep faster and slept better tart cherries are known for their sour taste but did you know they can help you sleep compared to sweet cherries tart cherries contain more melatonin an important hormone that determines when you wake up and when you go to sleep even two cups of tart cherry juice a day could increase your total hours of sleep while a warm glass of milk may be a common trick to help kids fall asleep what is it about milk that makes us tired well warm milk not only helps your body relax but the melatonin and milk can help promote sleep malted milk with its high levels of vitamins B and D can also help with sleep just be sure to avoid whole fat milk which can be difficult to digest at night fatty fish like salmon or tuna are rich in vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids adding more fatty fish to your diet could help you stay asleep through the night especially in the winter months when many of us become vitamin D deficient and fatty fish can help restore our circadian rhythms nuts almonds walnuts pistachios cashews there's too many to name although different in shape and flavor all nuts have this in common high amounts of melatonin magnesium and zinc these Essentials are proven to help the body fall asleep even helping people who suffer from insomnia get a better night's rest lastly although the reason is still unclear A study found that people who regularly ate rice slept better than those who ate its rival carbohydrates noodles and bread but while Rich in B vitamins what you eat with rice also matters as carbs up the nutrients and amino acids of our food reach the brain faster so that we can fall asleep faster as much as we wish it could our body couldn't function if we only ever ate our favorite food our sleep is the same what we eat when we eat and how much we eat can all affect our energy levels and ability to sleep taking into account your individual needs and health try adding foods like the ones mentioned before and see how they can change your sleep you can also limit the things that worsen sleep like alcohol caffeine and spicy food for starters but talk to a doctor or nutritionist before making drastic changes to your diet and before your next Thanksgiving consider the size of the meal you're about to dig into before you blame the turkey for that after meal nap thanks everyone sleep well
