Top 5 Bed Time Snacks

Having Trouble Sleeping?

If you have trouble sleeping try a midnight snack that will actually help you sleep. Caring.com have suggested the top 5 best foods for a great night’s sleep.

Cherries

cherries

Fresh or dried cherries contain melatonin, the chemical that regulates the bodies internal sleep clock. Researchers recommend eating the fruit an hour before going to bed. Tart cherries are the most effective as they contain higher levels of melatonin.

Bananas

bananas

Bananas contain potassium and magnesium which are natural muscle relaxants. They also contain the amino acid L-tryptophan which triggers the release of serotonin, a chemical that relaxes the body.

Toast

toast

Foods that are rich with carbohydrates such as toast trigger insulin production, this speeds up the release of tryptophan and serotonin which relax you and sends you to sleep.

Oatmeal

oatmeal

Oatmeal also triggers insulin production and oats are rich in melatonin which is used as a sleep aid.

Warm milk

walmmilk

Warm milk is high in calcium which promotes sleep. Like bananas it contains the amino acid L-tryptophan which triggers the release of serotonin.

There Are Other Solutions!

If you have had trouble sleeping over an extended period of time it may not be you. It is quite possibly the mattress you are sleeping on. Mattress technologies have dramatically improved over the years. Materials, pocket spring systems & manufacturing techniques provide the right marriage between comfort & support.

At Sueno we specialise in the very best mattresses out there. Our broad range of Healthopaedic mattresses will satisfy any sleep conditions.

Lack of sleep “a ticking time bomb” for your health

Less than 6 hours sleep a night?

Getting less than 6 hours sleep a night can greatly increase the risk of suffering a heart attack, a study has found.

Research by Warwick Medical School, published in the European Heart Journal, found that sleep deprivation can be linked to heart attacks, strokes and cardiovascular problems.

“If you sleep less than six hours a night and have disturbed sleep you stand a 48% greater chance of developing or dying from heart disease and a 15% greater chance of developing or dying from a stroke” said lead author Professor Francesco Cappuccio.

More than 470,000 people’s sleep habits were tracked from between 7 and 25 years in 8 different countries including the UK and the USA.

“The trend for late nights and early mornings is actually a ticking time bomb for our health so you need to act now to reduce your risk of developing these life-threatening conditions” said Professor Cappuccio.

Co-researcher Dr Michelle Miller said: ”Chronic short sleep produces hormones and chemicals in the body which increase the risk of developing heart disease and strokes, and other conditions like high blood pressure and cholesterol, diabetes and obesity.”
