One Thing Even The Coolest Alarm Clock Cannot Give You: Tryptophan


If you have a difficult time sleeping, you may need to look at your diet. Certain foods can actually help promote better sleep. Studies indicate that foods rich in tryptophan can help assist with sleep and relax your brain. They are full of such amino acids that help generate melatonin and serotonin in the body. Sleep-inducing neurotransmitters are produced by tryptophan. If you are looking for foods to try that contain tryptophan look for: whole grains, beans, chickpeas, hazel nuts, peanuts, eggs, soy beans and others. Raw dairy products and soy milk are also great sources of this natural sleep aid. If you are having difficult sleeping, consult a doctor about adding these foods to your diet.

Or Maybe Just Get A Better Alarm Clock From Moshi.
