Improving sleep quality can be influenced by dietary choices. Nutrition experts emphasize that certain foods rich in tryptophan, such as turkey, almonds, and lentils, can enhance sleep by aiding melatonin and serotonin production. However, experts warn that while these foods can improve sleep health over time, they do not induce immediate sleep. Increasing the intake of fruits and vegetables is also recommended for better sleep, as they provide various essential nutrients. Nutritional adjustments can lead to significant improvements in one's sleep over time.
"What you eat, in terms of nutrients, fats, sugar and fiber, can all play a role in sleep quality at night," says Marie-Pierre St-Onge, a nutrition scientist.
"Melatonin is important for helping one fall asleep and remain asleep throughout the night," St-Onge says. "Serotonin makes people feel happy and is related to our sleep-wake cycle."
