Can't sleep

See a doctor if

• Breathing that stops and starts while you sleep, or gasping, snorting or choking noises
• Always feeling very tired during the day

Foods

• Chamomile tea (some): improved sleep quality in pooled trials, but not insomnia itself
• Kiwi (some): two kiwis an hour before bed in one small trial
• Cherries (some): the trial used tart cherry juice concentrate
• Cow's milk (whole) (traditional): warm milk at night is a common habit
• Almonds (traditional): no direct trial on sleep
• Banana (traditional): no direct trial on sleep
• Walnuts (traditional): no direct trial on sleep

A suggestion, not a diagnosis. Check with your doctor, especially if you're pregnant, on medication or managing a condition.
