What to eat when you can’t sleep!

Miso soup! The comforting Japanese broth contains tryptophan, a serotonin- and melatonin-producing amino acid that can help you get sleepy fast. Other foods high in tryptophan include non-fat Greek-style yogurts, lentil soup, raw sunflower seeds and turkey.
Foods to avoid before bedtime? Wine and sugary foods, including fruit. “It’s imperative to stay away from fruits and simple sugars in the evening hours because of the surge of insulin that can occur during sleep,” says Metsovas.
