Less than half of people surveyed world-wide by the National Sleep Foundation report getting a good night’s sleep.
Wellness Expert, Dr. Tanya Edwards at the Cleveland Clinic says that sleeplessness is a common complaint.
She suggests some surprising natural sleep-aids to help you get rest, so you’re not nodding off in the day.
Edwards says pumpkin seeds can help.
And sunflower seeds!
And tart cherry juice!
“My favorites are pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds for getting a good night’s sleep and recent studies have shown that drinking a cup of tart cherry juice about a half-hour before bedtime may also be helpful for getting to sleep,” says Edwards.
She recommends half a cup of pumpkin seeds once or twice a day.
And for women approaching menopause, she recommends adding foods containing magnesium or adding it as a supplement.
So this Halloween remember these 4 treats that may help you sleep like a baby:
1. Pumpkin seeds (bonus: they are high in magnesium)
2. Sunflower seeds
3. Tart cherry juice
4. Foods with magnesium or adding a supplement
