Some nights as you take a warm or cold bath and crawl into your bed, ( well made with a clean bedsheets), you hardly stay ten minutes before you sleep off. However, on some other nights, you find yourself, rolling from one corner of the big bed to the other, you sometimes take up a book to read, hoping to doze off. But still no sleep. You are not alone in this experience. It happens to many of us everyday.
A lot of things can disrupt sleep medically. However, it can also be associated with what you ate as dinner.
Below, I shared a few of the foods that can induce sleep. Let's see :

FOODS THAT MAKES YOU SLEEP BETTER

The sleep time, sleep onset, wake up time before and after eating kiwi were recorded. He found out that waking up time was decreased while total sleep time and efficiency increased tremendously. Apparently Kiwi consumption made an impact.
