Tart Cherry Juice
In a small study, melatonin-rich tart cherry juice was shown to aid sleep. When adults with chronic insomnia drank a cup of tart cherry juice twice a day they experienced some relief in the severity of their insomnia.
Oatmeal
Have you heard that cherries are a good source of the sleep-promoting hormone melatonin? Well, oatmeal’s got the stuff, too. And since it’s loaded with carbs that’ll make you feel sleepy anyway, you might be conked out before you even finish eating a bowlful.
Herbal Teas
Tea has tons of snooze-promoting properties. Top ones to lull you to sleep include chamomile, passionflower hops, and lemon balm, say both Garcia and Pasquella.
