Nutrition for better sleep is essential. Foods rich in tryptophan and melatonin, like turkey and cherries, support relaxation and your natural sleep cycle[5][10]. Avoid caffeine, alcohol, and heavy meals in the evening as they can disrupt sleep. Opt for light, balanced snacks if you’re hungry before bed, and stay hydrated throughout the day. Eating at consistent times and listening to your hunger cues can help regulate your sleep-wake cycle for more restful nights.
