Craving a bedtime snack? Loaded with melatonin, cherries have been associated with improved sleep quality and duration! 🍒
A sleep expert’s bedtime routineyou even go to bed. Although the ideal nighttime routine will naturally vary from person to person, Dr. Harris shared her own step-by-step recipe with us for winding down in the evening and preventing waking up once you finally fall asleep.
“I have two kids, ages six and 12, so we tend to eat dinner a bit earlier than some people would," Dr. Harris says."Dinner is usually around 5:45 or 6 p.m., and we eat pretty simply, [like] roasted vegetables, seafood, or meat that’s grilled. I then have a snack about one hour before bed, and that often is some Greek yogurt with low-sugar granola." She explains that the carbohydrates from the granola and the protein from the yogurt are a great combination for bedtime.
When picking between the snack options in the pantry, Dr. Harris says that it isn’t just the carbs that make you sleepy, but rather the combination of a lean protein and a low-sugar complex carbs that really hits the sleep-inducing sweet spot. However, she does emphasize not to have a huge snack before going to bed that can make you feel overly energized or restless as you try to drift away.
Dr. Harris also notes that while a pre-bedtime snack can certainly help you sleep, eating during the night generally does the opposite."Your digestive system slows down once you go to sleep at night, as it is conserving energy. A small snack an hour before bed is great, but try to avoid anything in the middle of the night,” she says. According to Dr. Harris, eating a mid-sleep snack once you’ve already slowed your digestion can lead to heartburn and restlessness when you go back to bed.Dr.
