Caption: Four ways to get a better night's sleep. Many people struggle to get a good night's sleep, which can lead to a range of health problems if left unaddressed. Wassen’s nutritionist Emma Bullock-Lynch has shared her top tips for getting a good night's sleep. Foods to promote sleep According to the expert, foods that contain the amino acid tryptophan can help promote better sleep as the body uses it to produce serotonin and melatonin, key hormones that regulate sleep. Good sources of tryptophan include chicken, turkey, dairy products and nuts. Don’t eat too late While some foods can promote better sleep, you shouldn't eat too close to bedtime. ”Eat your evening meal at least two to three hours before bed. Eating too close to bedtime can raise your body temperature and affect sleep quality.” “By eating earlier, you allow your digestive system to work before you rest, promoting better sleep.” Limit caffeine Try to limit your caffeine intake to the first half of the day to avoid disrupting your sleep. ”Limit caffeine intake, especially in the afternoon and evening. Caffeine can stay in your system for several hours (up to six or more), so drinking coffee or tea late in the day may disrupt sleep.” Exercise regularly during the day Exercising earlier in the day can help burn off energy, leaving you feeling tired in time for bed. ”Regular physical activity, such as yoga, walking, or swimming, can help promote relaxation and improve sleep quality.” Finally, if you need extra help getting to sleep at night, the expert recommends the Wassen Relax + Replenish supplement, which contains ashwagandha to support relaxation.
