Many people don’t realize or simply forget, but “diet plays a major role in your sleep cycle and quality of sleep,” says Courtney Coe, a registered dietitian, as quoted in Prevention . With that in mind, the expert, along with fellow dietitian Maggie G. Lyon, created a list of foods that can help you get a better night’s rest.

Six foods that can help you sleep better:

  • Cherries. More specifically, tart cherry juice provides “a natural source of melatonin, a hormone that regulates your sleep-wake cycle,” says Courtney Coe; 
  • Nuts and seeds. They contain magnesium that promotes muscle relaxation and improves sleep quality; 
  • Dairy products. They usually have casein, which can “promote deep, consistent sleep by preventing blood sugar levels from dropping, which can disrupt sleep”; 
  • Eggs. They contain tryptophan and can improve mood and depressive symptoms; 
  • Quinoa. It has tryptophan and lots of protein;
  • Fish rich in omega-3 which can “support the conversion of tryptophan to serotonin, which aids sleep.”
