The benefits of sound sleep is not a state secret.

We know how sleep can effect our productivity, our decision making capability, functioning of our brain.

In the nutshell, a good night's sleep is essential to good health.

Sleep aid tips

Studies say over 100 million Americans suffer from some form of insomnia.

But the good news is, you can easily improve your sleep with better sleep habits.

Also, it has been proved now that some foods have the power to affect our sleep. The affects can be positive as well as negative.

Some foods can increase our nervous simulation and prevent us from sleeping.

Drinking caffeinated beverages or xanthine in tea before bed time are example of such foods.

Also fizzy drinks and cigarettes have the same effect.

Basically, these foods stimualte neurochemicals that perk up the brain.

Other major factor responsible for a disturbed sleep is eating a heavy dinner before bedtime, it results in snoring, heavy breathing and reflux esophagitis.

Myth: The most common myth mass is, they believe alcohol helps in sleep.

But the fact is, alcohol may initially act as sedative but it interupts normal sleep patterns in the long run.

Now, lets look at the other side of the story. There are certain foods which improve our sleep. These foods are rich in trytophan.

Tryptophan is the amino acid that the body uses to make serotonin, the neurotransmitter that slows down nerve traffic and lulls us into restful sleep.

Eating carbohydrates rich in trytophan makes this calming amino acid more available to brain.

Foods containing trytophan that aid sleep are

. Milk

. Cheese

. Curd

. Potato

. Wheat

. Seafood

. Beans

. Sesame seeds

. Oatmeal

. Apricots

. Bananas

Tip: Avoid eating junk food and highly refined food at night because fibre-rich food increases serotonin availability, but processed carbs over stimulates insulin, which leads to disturbed sleep.

Other Bed time snacks can include:

. Whole grain cereal with milk

. Ice-cream

. Seasame seeds

. Oatmeal or rasin cookies

Tip: Lighter meals are more likely to give you a good night's sleep.
