If you’re struggling to fall asleep or stay asleep at night, you’re not alone. Many people deal with sleep issues due to stress, screen time, poor diet, or inconsistent routines. Luckily, nature offers some gentle, effective solutions. Drinking a warm cup of tea or a calming hot beverage before bed can help relax your body and mind, making it easier to drift off peacefully.
Chamomile tea is a classic choice known for its mild sedative effects. It contains apigenin, an antioxidant that binds to certain receptors in your brain, promoting sleepiness and reducing insomnia.
Lavender tea is another great option—its soothing aroma alone can calm nerves and reduce anxiety, perfect for bedtime.
For those who prefer something richer, a warm cup of golden milk (made with turmeric, milk, and a touch of honey) not only supports sleep but also helps fight inflammation and improves digestion.
Valerian root tea is stronger and often used by people with chronic insomnia, though it has a distinct earthy taste.
Even a simple warm lemon water or decaf green tea can create a bedtime ritual that tells your body it’s time to wind down. The key is consistency and choosing what works best for your body.
