(NaturalNews) Sleep is essential for our health and wellbeing. It
allows our body to rejuvenate and restore itself. Sleep deprivation
is one of the biggest causes of aging. Tiredness can also affect your
mood and how you feel. Chronic tiredness can increase your risk of
depression and anxiety. It can also affect the way that you respond
and react to the people around you.

It can also affect your cognitive ability and your ability to use
your brain. This can cause you to be less constructive and creative.
It can also decrease your ability to think quickly which may impair
your ability to drive or do daily tasks.

There is no set amount of time that everyone needs to sleep, since it
varies from person to person. Studies indicate that people are
generally most effective when they sleep an average of 7 hours, but
people can find anywhere between 5 and 7 hours okay for them.

Insomnia can be caused by deficiencies in certain nutrients. The
foods that we eat can help us to gain those nutrients and help us
sleep. These 7 super foods can help us get a good night's sleep at
last so that we can feel refreshed and energized in our daily life.

Bananas

Bananas are a delicious sleepy time fruit. They balance melatonin and
serotonin levels, which are the neurotransmitters necessary for deep
sleep. They also contain magnesium, which is a muscle relaxant.

Chamomile tea

Chamomile is a mild sedative that calms and relaxes, making it the
perfect natural antidote for restless minds and bodies.

Honey

While sugar is stimulating, honey helps the brain to turn off because
it contains orexin, a recently discovered neurotransmitter that's
linked to alertness.

Potatoes

Potatoes contain tryptophan, which will ensure you get your ZZZZZZZZs.

Oatmeal

Oats are a rich source of sleep inducing melatonin

Almonds

A handful of my favorite food can help one relax and unwind because
they contain the snooze helping nutrients tryptophan and magnesium.

Flaxseeds

Flaxseeds are a rich source omega-3 fatty acids, which make them a
natural mood lifter. They are one of the 7 super foods for a good
night's rest.
