Late-night snackers, listen up.
However, your eating habits also play a significant role in the quality of your sleep.
Here are eight fruits to consider adding to your diet to support better sleep.
Kiwi
Thanks to high levels of melatonin and serotonin, eating freshkiwican promote sleep.
One study even suggests that a serving oftwo medium-sized green kiwis one hour before bedtimeis ideal.
Serotonin, the precursor to melatonin, helps with relaxation, mood, thermoregulation, and the sleep-wake cycle.
It also regulates physiological rhythms like body temperature and motor control, which influence restfulness.
Melatonin is essential for regulating and resynchronizing the bodys internal clock.
This synchronization is key for falling asleep faster and maintaining sleep through the night, Pallian explains.
She also notes that kiwis are packed with vitamin C, folate, and other B vitamins.
She also highlights that the antioxidants in pineapple help reduce oxidative stress, which may further support restful sleep.
Avocado
The sleep-supportive effects ofavocadomay be partly attributed to its magnesium content, Pallian says.
According toone study, the ideal intake for sleep support is one whole avocado.
Kaiden recommends sticking to one cup of fresh grapes for the perfect bedtime treat.
When you feel better, you sleep better.
