Recipe of the week: Foods to help you sleep

Foods to help you sleep

Mums, you’ve got the children sleeping through the night (mostly!) but do you still suffer from poor sleep?

If dropping off to sleep is a constant problem or your mood and work are affected by your lack of sleep, then it might be time to start including some sleep-inducing foods into your daily meals. 

Here’s a small collection of recipes to get you started:

Vegetable tagine

The beans and greens in this stew have been shown to support good sleep. 

Raspberry, kiwi and oat smoothie

The raspberries, bananas and kiwis in this smoothie contain melatonin which are great for helping you sleep. 

Energy balls

The name might suggest these will boost your energy rather than put you to sleep but they are packed with the nuts and seeds you need for slumber-inducing snacking.
