Tart Cherry Juice
It contains dietary melatonin, the sleep hormone. Sip eight ounces in the morning and at night.

Whole-grain Crackers
The carbs they contain can help boost serotonin levels.

Pumpkin Seeds
A quarter cup of magnesium, a mineral that helps muscles relax the way some sleep meds do.

Kiwifruit
Eating two an hour before bedtime has been shown to help you nod off faster and sleep deeper. It's packed with the sleep promoting nutrients serotonin and folate.

Fatty Fish
Salmon and other fatty fish are good sources of vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids, which are important for the regulation of serotonin.

Hummus
Chickpeas are naturally high in tryptophan, an amino acid that makes you feel sleepy. Try two tablespoons with your bedtime snack.
