Sample Meal Plan
Nutrition has a direct impact on sleep quality. Foods rich in magnesium and tryptophan, such as leafy greens and turkey, can help you relax and fall asleep more easily. Avoid caffeine, heavy meals, and alcohol in the evening, as they can disrupt sleep. Try a light snack like a banana or herbal tea before bed, and keep hydrated without overdoing fluids late at night. Adjusting your diet can make a noticeable difference in how well you sleep.
