The Best Foods to Eat Before Bed – Nutritionist Reveals Sleep-Boosting Snacks

Struggling to fall asleep at night? While many people reach for herbal teas or supplements, nutritionist Brenda Madole from MyOrThrive says the secret could be sitting in your kitchen.

Brenda explains:

 “What you eat in the evening can have a huge impact on your sleep quality. Certain foods naturally contain compounds that support the production of melatonin and serotonin – the hormones responsible for regulating your body’s sleep–wake cycle. Choosing the right evening snack could help you drift off faster and sleep more soundly.”

Below, Brenda highlights the best foods to eat before bedtime – and why they work.

Foods That Support Better Sleep

Brenda adds:

 “The key is to keep evening snacks light. Overeating or having heavy, fatty foods before bed can actually disrupt your sleep. A handful of almonds, a small bowl of oats, or a kiwi are ideal choices if you’re looking for a natural sleep aid.”
