Q: What foods when consumed promote sleep?

Does st johns wort help? What about alcohol - will it help if I just get drunk?

Oh dear! No it definitely will NOT help you at all! Even though we feel as though we sleep well after consuming alcohol- we actually do not get enough REM sleep, which is the deep sleep we need to function. Go to the beyond blue website and check out their fact sheets on insomnia and healthy eating. Make sure you drink plenty of water throughout the day and limit your coffee, alcohol and nicotine intake. Meditation is an excellent way to relax before bed, and making sure you are in bed and awake at the same time each day. Good luck! Reply to this post | Report
