😴 Having trouble winding down at night or waking feeling unrefreshed?
🌙 Nutrition plays a much bigger role in sleep regulation than most people realize.
🧠 Many foods naturally support neurotransmitters like serotonin and melatonin, help stabilize evening blood sugar, and calm the nervous system. That’s why small dietary adjustments often create big improvements in sleep quality.
💤 Here are some sleep-supportive nutrient categories from today’s graphic:
🥛 Warm milk, herbal teas, and stopping caffeine by early afternoon
🌾 Complex carbohydrates such as whole-grain breads, pasta, and brown rice
🌿 Fresh herbs like basil, sage, and German chamomile
🥜 Heart-healthy fats from nuts and nut butters
🍌 Simple sleep-inducing snacks like bananas or yogurt
🍗 Lean proteins including turkey, chicken, fish, and cheese
