These 12 Foods Would Make You Sleep Faster & Better

Salmon
Most fish and especially salmon, boast vitamin B6, which is needed to make melatonin (a sleep-inducing hormone triggered by darkness). One recent study found that getting 600 mg of omega-3 fatty acids per day helped people sleep nearly an hour longer and wake up 7 fewer times throughout the night. Have some wild salmon for dinner, or if you don’t do fish, pop an omega-3 supplement.

Yogurt
Dairy products like yogurt and milk boast healthy doses of calcium—and there’s research that suggests being calcium-deficient may make it difficult to fall asleep.

Kale
Dairy products are well-known calcium-rich foods. But green leafy vegetables, such as kale and collards, also boast healthy doses of calcium. And research suggests that being calcium deficient may make it difficult to fall asleep.
