Around 10 pm the rest of the world is slowing down, only you are up and around. Maybe you have got plenty of energy or it could be what you are eating too. Here is the list with the top 10 foods to calm you down and help you for a good night sleep.Bananas. They practically are a sleeping pill in a peel. In addition to a bit of soothing melatonin and serotonin, bananas contain magnesium, a muscle relaxant.
Chamomile tea. The reason chamomile is such a staple of bedtime tea blends is its mild sedating effect - it's the perfect natural antidote for restless mind/bodies.
Warm Milk. It's not a myth. Milk has some tryptophan - an amino acid that has a sedative - like effect - and calcium, which helps the brain use tryptophan. Plus there is the psychological throw-back to infancy, when warm bottle meant "relax, everythink is fine".

My mom use to give me warm milk AND honey if I had a hard time going to bed as a child. It worked everytime!
Mum is the world! My mum told me about this just yesterday. I work shift work and lots of those are nights so I sleep like crap!I am lucky if I get 4 hours straight a day/night! Maybe I should eat oatmeal sweetened with honey and mushed bananas.
Thanks for the comprehensive list...lately I have been having trouble sleeping, so these should come in handy.
Hi Folks,
has anyone tried Melatonin?? I have been thinkingabout seeing how it works. I'd love to hear feedback from someone who has used it. Many Thanks
Hya, I have tried melatonin on cross-atlantic flights....not really sure if they worked though....it wasn't like a instant zonk-out or anything
