A drop in blood sugar at night can lead to insomnia / night time waking. Carbohydrates boost serotonin, a hormone that helps you feel calm, peaceful, and even sleepy. Consider snacking on a half ounce (17.2 grams) of cheese (57 calories / 0 carbs / 7 grams protein) and a quarter piece of apple (20 calories / 7.5 carbs) just before turning in for the evening. The cheese is dense enough to stay with you mixed with the apple which has pectin. Another thing to try is 4 oz (122 grams) whole milk (73 calories) heated with a sprinkle of nutmeg and/or lavender flowers. Whole milk (like cheese) has tryptophan in it. Nutmeg has a high content of magnesium, an essential mineral in the body that reduces nerve tension, and even stimulates the release of serotonin which creates a feeling of relaxation or sedation. This serotonin is changed to melatonin in the brain, which is a sleep inducer, relieving people of their problems with insomnia and restlessness at night. Nutmeg also has trace elements of narcotics, which have no dramatic effect unless taken in massive quantities. However, even the small amount can help you release various neurotransmitters than induce relaxation and sleep. For either nutmeg or lavender milk - put the milk and lavender in a small saucepan and over a medium heat slowly bring to boiling point. Reduce the heat and leave to infuse for 15 minutes. Strain and serve with a touch of low glycemic sweetener if desired.
