Food plays an important role in getting a restful night. Paying attention to what you eat can go a long way towards getting a good sleep, say experts.
Almonds, kiwi fruit, walnuts, banana, chickpeas, milk, oatmeal, and white rice are food that have ingredients that enhance sleep.
Oatmeal and white rice are high in carbohydrates and have been reported to induce drowsiness when consumed before bed. Oatmeal is also a source of melatonin, a hormone that is stimulated by darkness and signals your body that it is time to sleep.
A salad with dinner would help as lettuce has lactucarium, which is considered to have sedative properties. Chickpeas, commonly known in India as Kabuli channa, is a surprise super food when it comes to sleep.
Aside from being a rich source of protein, chickpeas are also full of vitamin B6, which helps the body to produce melatonin.
