Better sleep translates to higher energy levels when you are awake. It also affects how you interact with others and take necessary decisions through the day. Knowing how to sleep better is a great means to ensure that you live each day to the fullest and combating any sleep-related problems too. Here is a list of five foods which you can eat to sleep better:
- Warm milk: It's not just an old wives tale. As a great source of tryptophan (an essential amino acid which is essential for the production of serotonin) it will help you sleep better. Effects can also be psychological as drinking warm milk every night might conjure up memories of your childhood and lead you blissful sleep. Most dairy products including cheese and yogurt are a rich source of tryptophan and can induce sleep.
- Turkey in the form of sandwiches: Any form of carbohydrates stimulates insulin which will clear amino acids and cause more tryptophan to enter the brain which results in a lethargic feeling leading to better sleep.
- Bananas: Can't do without a fruit before you hit the sack? Eat a banana. They contain huge amounts of tryptophan also which produces a relaxed, soothing effect leading to better sleep.
- Lettuce: Research has found that nibbling on a few lettuce leaves in the evening guarantees you a good night's sleep because it contains an opium-like substance called lactucin which will induce sleep.
- Honey: it contains a natural ingredient called orexin which lets the brain "switch off" and guarantees you a great night's sleep. In fact a number of studies have proved that honey is one of nature's best sleep aids.

According to the estimates of the National Institutes of Health, over 12 million Americans are affected by sleep apnea. Apart from lack of sleep and daytime drowsiness, the sleep disorder could lead to severe health problems including high blood pressure and stroke. Sleep apnea results in cessation of breathing during sleep. When you sleep, the muscles at the back of your throat relax, block the airways and result in snoring and sleep apnea. However, there are a number of treatment options available today.

Do you snore? Do you feel tired throughout the day? You could be suffering from Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). OSA is caused due to complete obstruction of the airways when compared to snoring which is caused due to a minimal obstruction in your airway. With OSA, you might wake up several times in a night without even realizing at times. Moreover, OSA could lead to potential health hazards such as high blood pressure and stroke. To confirm and find the best treatment option, you need to consult a sleep specialist.
