You probably already know that a glass of wine before bed isn't a good idea and heard the stories of how alcohol and a good night's sleep doesn't match.

So, what are the alternatives?


Herbal teas!

Best ones are:

  • Chamomile,

  • Valerian root

  • Lavender

These are marketed as sleep aids and they are popular beverage choices when it comes time to relax and unwind.


Unfortunately, about 30% of people suffer from Insomnia, or the chronic inability to fall asleep, stay asleep, or achieve restorative, high-quality sleep

Studies show that alcohol does not improve sleep quality but at the same time alcohol does allow healthy people to fall asleep quicker and sleep more deeply for a while,



BUT it reduces rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. And the more you drink before bed, the more pronounced these effects.


So, I think it's safe to stay away from the alcohol and steer toward the direction of natural remedies
