MILK

THE BEST SLEEP-BOOSTING FOODS

27th July 2020 by Nadine Jagger Leave a Comment

Did you know? Certain foods are known to help calm the brain and promote good sleep. The best night time snacks are ones that contain complex carbohydrates and protein to optimise tryptophan levels. Tryptophan is the amino acid that the body uses to produce the sleepy hormones serotonin and melatonin that help slow down and relax the body. 

Pop these sleep-friendly foods in your shopping basket:

NUTS: Walnuts, flax seeds, pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds are packed full of magnesium and tryptophan so are great serotonin boosters.Try snacking on a handful an hour or so before bed. 

BANANA: Turns out bananas aren’t just for breaky or pre workout, they also make the perfect sleep aid. Bananas pack a punch of magnesium and potassium to help relax overstressed muscles, plus the B6 found in the fruit convert tryptophan into serotonin to help calm your brain for a restful slumber. 

KIWI: Small but mighty! Kiwis can be a powerful aid in helping you sleep due to their high levels of antioxidants and serotonin. According to the Sleep Foundation,eating two kiwis before bed can increase your sleep duration by an hour or so over the course of a month. 

SWEET POTATO: As well as being loaded with sleep-promoting complex carbs, Sweet Potato also contains the natural muscle-relaxant potassium. So a double whammy of sleepy goodness.

MILK: A glass of milk contains four sleep-promoting compounds: tryptophan, calcium, vitamin D, and melatonin. There is also the psychological link between warm milk and bedtime as a child. For super sleepy milk, sip on Sleep Well. Our nutritious bedtime drink is made with whole Jersey milk, honey and valerian – the natural herb proven to help you relax and sleep. Buy now

OATS: While most of us associate oats with breakfast, they also make the perfect evening snack. Without getting too technical – oats contain Tryptophan, an amino-acid the brain converts into serotonin, which helps relax and calm the body. Their high carb content can help you feel sleepy too! Try mixing with milk (or better yet, Sleep Well milk) and chopped up banana for a tasty treat that is sure to get you snoozing.

What our Sleepers are saying

"Bought this for my 22 year old daughter who has been having sleep issues. After drinking it, she slept through whole night without feeling rubbish the next morning. Definitely buying more and for my son who is 18, who I think will benefit from it too -thank you!"

Val

"Sleep Well tastes great and helps me fall asleep easier. I'm just about to order my next purchase"

Natalie

"My son has ADHD and Autism and we cannot live without this product! It really helps calm him down and has made a difference to his sleep ! Love it."

Emma

"I have been using the chocolate Sleep Well for the last few months. My anxieties have been high and restless nights have not been good. Since using Sleep Well, I manage to sleep through and I feel more refreshed in the mornings now."

Lisa

"Absolutely delighted! Sleep Well tastes so good and creamy. It's given me the best night's sleep I have had in so long. I usually wake up a couple times through the night but slept the way through after drinking Sleep Well. I will definitely be ordering more."

Jacqueline

"I honestly can't sleep without it. I have really bad insomnia and as soon as I started to drink one of these a night my sleeping pattern turned out to be amazing. I had the best night's sleep ever, I woke up in the morning feeling so refreshed and wonderful."

Jenny

"I love the chocolate Sleep Well!! It's a staple in my fridge now, especially for nightshifts, as it helps me achieve quality sleep quickly after a shift and also helps keep my sweet tooth at bay! I highly recommend you give it a try!! I am VERY impressed!"

Claire

"Sleep Well was easy to add to my nightly routine and tastes so good that I look forward to drinking it each and every night before bed. Most importantly it helps to set my mind and body at ease and to grant me the rest and relaxation time that I truly need."

Jade

"It's amazing. I suffer with some PTSD which can cause me not to sleep as well. Drinking Sleep Well gives me a full uninterrupted night's sleep."

"I love Sleep Well. I was struggling to sleep and it really helped."

Heather, aged 11

“My daughter is 18 and has always had a problem with trying to get to sleep.  We have tried every hot night time drink and relaxation methods.  She is so stressed from college and now uni.  I saw an advert for Sleep Well on Facebook and ordered it.  Molly had the best night’s sleep, she felt so relaxed.  She said it tasted lovely hot and cold.  Can’t wait to see it in our supermarket.  #welldonesleepwell”
