Don’t go to sleep with growling belly

It’s not easy to fall asleep with a growling belly, so satisfying bedtime hunger becomes important. The National Sleep Foundation suggests these snacks:
Health Tips
* A handful of almonds with either half a banana or a handful of cherries, which contain the sleep-promoting hormone melatonin.
* Whole-grain crackers and peanut butter, which contain complex carbohydrates and tryptophan, a sleep-promoting amino acid.
* Warm milk, which contains calcium, magnesium and tryptophan.
* A mug of decaffeinated herbal tea.
* A small bowl of whole-grain cereal or warm oatmeal with milk. These contain magnesium, carbohydrates, calcium and melatonin.
* Half of a sandwich on whole wheat bread, a great source of tryptophan.
