Tart cherries (Montmorency) actually
contain a natural form of melatonin that can help you to naturally get sleepy
and more easily fall asleep. You could found frozen tart cherries in specialty
grocery stores and use them for a late night smoothie occasionally.
You could also found a tart cherry
concentrate in Whole Foods and other health food stores that you can add to a
drink or caffeine-free tea at night to help get you that low dose natural
melatonin. Use 1 spoonful of this tart
cherry concentrate in a cup of chamomile or mint tea late at night. This
helps immensely for calming down and falling asleep at night.
A side benefit is that tart cherry
also contains powerful antioxidants that fight joint pain, gout, and other
inflammation related problems.
