I don’t recommend eating right before bed. It can disrupt digestion, slow your metabolism, and contribute to weight gain.


But if you find yourself feeling hungry early in the evening and want a snack that will support better sleep, here are some backed by science:


🥜Foods high in magnesium (to calm the nervous system):

Oats

Almonds

Cashews

Chia Seeds


🥣 Foods containing tryptophan (to make serotonin):

Pistachios

Sesame Seeds

Pumpkin Seeds

Cottage Cheese


🍒 Foods that support melatonin production:

Kiwis

Oranges

Bananas

Pineapples

Tart Cherry Juice
