Early Dinner for Better Sleep
- Eat your last meal early, around 4 or 5 PM, to improve sleep quality.
- Avoid late-night snacking to reduce gut stress that interferes with sleep.
Probiotics Boost Sleep Hormones
- Consume probiotics like kefir or L. reuteri yogurt daily to boost serotonin and melatonin.
- Half a cup per day is enough and it doesn’t need to be taken before bed.
Optimize Sleep Environment
- Keep your bedroom cool between 65 and 68 degrees for better sleep.
