Cherries
Should you let yourself have that midnight snack if you're having trouble sleeping and you think hunger might be part of the problem? Fresh and dried cherries are one of the only natural food sources of melatonin, the chemical that controls the body's internal clock to regulate sleep. Researchers who tested tart cherries had found high levels of melatonin recommend eating them an hour before bedtime or before a trip when you want to sleep on the plane.
Oatmeal
Like toast, a bowl of oatmeal will trigger insulin production, raising blood sugar naturally and making you feel sleepy. Oats are also rich in melatonin, which many people take as a sleep aid.
Milk
It's high in calcium, which promotes sleep.
