Do you have trouble sleeping?  Are you tired of being tired?

Trouble sleeping? One of these 7 yummy drinks may help you sleep better!

We all know that caffeinated drinks can prevent sweet slumber and that all caffeinated drinks should be avoided before bedtime if we have trouble sleeping. But these 7 yummy drinks naturally benefit you and encourage quality sleep! No need to avoid them before going to bed. In fact, we suggest you give at least one of the following 7 drinks a try before retiring for the day:

1. Peppermint tea
2. Chamomile tea
3. Raw honey
4. Carob powder
5. Almond milk
6. Tart cherry juice
7. Chai seed drink

If you happen to be a tea lover, reach for peppermint tea to promote stress relief, weight loss, better skin and relief of bloating.

Chamomile tea is a nerve relaxant that relieves anxiety, depression and stress. Enjoy a good night’s sleep after sipping a cup of this floral tea. For an added benefit, inhale its wonderful fragrance while it steeps.

Raw honey is especially beneficial when added to a hot drink such as tea.  Honey settles coughs and also stabilizes blood sugar levels which promotes sleep.

Is hot chocolate your “cup of tea”? Try replacing the cocoa in your hot chocolate with carob powder.  It has great benefits and is more healthful than cocoa.  It contains serotonin which promotes a good night’s sleep.

Almond milk is high in tryptophan and magnesium. Both of these ingredients are beneficial to quality sleep if you have trouble sleeping.

Tart cherry juice contains melatonin which increases relaxation and sleepiness.

Finally, chai seed is a “super food” containing omega fatty acids which promote quality sleep.

Having trouble sleeping?

Trouble sleeping happens to everyone at one time or another. It is actually quite common. A night or two every now and then is really no big deal. But if a good night’s sleep eludes you more often than not, it may be time for you to change things up a bit.

Here’s a list to help you change up your sleep routine:

• Stop eating several hours before bedtime
• Limit your alcohol intake, or better yet don’t have any at all
• Start getting ready for bed 30 minutes before your actual bedtime
• Keep your bedroom dark
• Do not use electronic appliances, such as computers and phones 30 to 60 minutes before retiring
• Turn off the television
• Try relaxing techniques to encourage sleepiness
• Read a book
• Enjoy aromatherapy masks and sprays to calm you
• Soak in a warm bath
• Sip hot chamomile lavender tea
• Avoid caffeinated drinks 3 hours before bedtime

If all else fails, call your physician. Your doctor will advise you with the right protocol to get that coveted good night’s sleep.
