Insomnia is one of the most painful things in life. If you don’t sleep well the night before, you will not have energy the whole next day. So in order to fall asleep well, you can try to eat something that helps you sleep an hour before going to bed, so that you can fall asleep faster. In order to solve everyone’s sleeping problems, today we will introduce some foods that can calm the nerves and aid sleep.

1. Milk:

Milk contains two hypnotic substances: one is tryptophan, which can promote the brain nerve cells to secrete serotonin, a neurotransmitter that makes people drowsy; the other is peptides that regulate physiological functions. Among them, "opioid peptides" can combine with the central nervous system and exert an anesthetic and analgesic effect similar to opium, making people feel comfortable all over the body and helping to relieve fatigue and fall asleep. For people who suffer from neurasthenia due to physical weakness, the hypnotic effect of milk is more obvious.
