Banana contains serotonin which the body converts to melatonin which helps people’s nerves feel relaxed and help them fall asleep. A study showed that melatonin levels increased four times just from eating two bananas.
2. Smoothies
A protein-based smoothie is a delicious and healthy way to make sure that you sleep better. You can mix low-fat milk with pineapple to make a delicious smoothie. Milk helps you fall asleep faster and causes muscle repair.
