5 drinks to help you sleep well
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on TelegramShare on WhatsApp

Sleep is a natural reoccurring cycle in our body. We have a circadian pacemaker in our hypothalamus which is synchronized with the solar cycle. As darkness falls, the circadian pacemaker releases a hormone, melatonin from the penial glands and we sleep. Sleep is an R&R for our entire body. All our processes slow down and take rest. Lack of sleep can have far reaching detrimental effects on our brain and the entire metabolism.

Today’s lifestyle, stress and other factors are affecting a lot of people who suffer insomnia.

Lack of sleep can have far reaching detrimental effects on our overall health. This is why good night sleep is a must to keep up the balance.

Here’re a few drinks that will help your relax and sleep better.

Milk

The age-old practice of drinking a warm glass of milk before sleep is a good relaxant because it contains tryptophan, an amino acid that makes us sleepy. Tryptophan is a precursor for melatonin and serotonin – both neurotransmitter – that aid in sleep. In addition, the comfort of a warm drink also helps relax mind and body. Milk also has a good amount of carbohydrate that is known to make one sleepy. Calcium in milk works with tryptophan to make more melatonin that further makes one feel sleepy.

Almond Milk

For the vegans, almond milk is a good alternative to dairy. It is rich in tryptophan; in addition it is a good source of magnesium that will help relax the muscles and improve sleep quality.

Chamomile Tea

Another popular bedtime drink, it has a positive effect on sleep because of an antioxidant compound apigenin. Antioxidants scavenge free radicals and relax the body, apigenin is particularly associated with anxiety alleviation and hence a restful sleep.

Honey with warm water/Green Tea:

Honey, added to warm water or a cup of green tea is also very relaxing. Honey contains some tryptophan, so adding honey to your night drink or just honey with warm water is a sweet night cap.

Coconut water:

Pure fresh coconut water is a low-calorie drink that not only energizes us, but is also a treasure trove of minerals like potassium, and magnesium that relax your body.While these are good for sleeping, what you definitely should avoid is coffee, tea, and alcohol – all these interfere with the sleep pattern.A good night’s sleep is the corner stone to good health. So don’t sleep over a problem you may have. Get those 7-9 hours of sleep that all adults need to let the body rest and get refreshed for another day.

Stay safe, stay healthy!
