Eat 1 Tablespoon Before Bed to Fall Asleep Faster | Dr. Mandell

If you struggle to fall asleep or wake up throughout the night, adding just one tablespoon of peanut butter 30 to 60 minutes before bed can make a big difference. Peanut butter supplies tryptophan, magnesium, healthy fats, and B-vitamins that help calm your nervous system and support melatonin production. When combined with a small amount of healthy carbohydrates, more tryptophan enters the brain to support deeper sleep.
