Prioritize balanced nutrition
When choosing snacks before bed, you should prioritize foods that balance carbohydrates, protein and healthy fats. Natural ingredients such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, lean protein and whole grains can help stabilize blood sugar overnight and provide stable energy for the body.
Limit added sugar
Snacks high in sugar or low-fiber carbohydrates can spike blood sugar levels and affect sleep.
Instead of sugary cereals, you can choose those that are less sugary and richer in fiber. A piece of whole wheat bread served with peanut butter is also a better choice than white bread with jam.
Try more walnuts
Walnuts contain melatonin - a hormone that helps regulate the sleep and wake cycle. You can combine walnuts with pistachios and dried cherries to create a simple snack that is both nutritious and supports sleep.
