Sleep and quality sleep are two very different things.

We all don't feel well if we haven't slept enough or slept badly, adding to the cost of an ineffective and sometimes exhausting work day.

All those who do not get enough sleep have 3-4 of the following symptoms:

- Nervousness

- Difficulty concentrating

- Fatigue during the day

- Weakening of the immune system

- Weight gain

- Sudden mood swings

- High blood pressure

- Organ dysfunction

- Hormonal disorders, especially in women.

- And the most serious, the consequences in life expectancy.

Sleeping better can be helped by trying and following some sleep hygiene practices.

In addition to lifestyle changes, there are some foods that promote sleep naturally! 

Eat these foods 2-3 hours before slipping between the sheets:

1. Almonds – are a natural source of melatonin.

2. Walnuts – in addition to melatonin, they contain high (good) fatty acids to help you sleep longer, better.

3. Chamomile tea – contains apigenin, a good antioxidant for preventing insomnia.

4. Kiwi fruits – rich in serotonin and antioxidants for natural relaxation.

5. Cherry juice or cherry tea – a small cup provides a lot of melatonin which can help if you struggle with insomnia.

Choose (if possible the position of the bedroom away from noises, the road, etc.)

Do not keep a phone, tablet, computer, or TV in your bedroom. They are devices that destroy your night's sleep, your work day, your health.

If you cannot sleep despite the improved conditions, contact a doctor, do not allow your problems to "thicken", become chronic.
