Eating a banana before bed can help you forget about insomnia, experts say.
We'll tell you why you should get into the habit of eating a banana before bed.
Why You Should Eat a Banana Before Bed
Bananas contain the amino acid tryptophan, which is necessary for the production of the joy hormone serotonin.
Serotonin, in turn, promotes good sleep and regulates levels of the stress hormone cortisol.
Tryptophan is an essential amino acid, which means that most of it comes from food.
There is a lot of tryptophan in animal products – turkey, liver, cheese, eggs.
This amino acid is also found in bananas, nuts, buckwheat, and pasta.
