Tryptophan, Serotonin and Melatonin
Serotonin is a neurotransmitter in the brain. It affects our mood, sleep, bowel function, sexuality and more. Tryptophan is a precursor to Serotonin. Tryptophan is also used when the body produces Melatonin.
Some good sources of tryptophan are: cod, soy beans, parmesan, egg, and nuts. Troubles sleeping? Get some Tryptophan rich food!
Combine tryptophan rich food with slow carbohydrates, for example Barley, Beans, Butternut squash or Brown rice.

Spirulina, Tryptophan, Serotonin - better sleep
Spirulina has among the highest tryptophan levels. Spirulina is made of an algae, completely natural and pure. You can buy tablets or powder and make smoothies. I recommend tablets because they are easier, faster to eat. Spirulina has a wide range of nutrients and contains, among other things, vitamin B12 and Magnesium.
I really recommend Spirulina since it's also rich in vitamin B.
There are opposing findings regarding spirulina and sleep. Some blogs say that Spirulina is bad for sleep. I'm not sure this is true actually. There is so much corrupt and bought science and media out there. I think Spirulina is good for sleep. Try it yourself.

General advices for better sleep, light alarm clocks, matresses etc
The food we eat affects our sleep. Get some good evening habits. Here are images of foods to eat before sleep.
Eat protein, some eggs just before bedtime. Proteins require much energy to be digested and thus it can make you feel a little bit tired.
Don't eat or drink foods with high energy/ high carbohydrate content just before sleep.
Install blackout roller blinds
A light alarm clock makes you wake up in a smooth way. Buy an light alarm clock.
My personal advice: don't sleep with your cellphone. Don't use sleep apps. We carry them with us all day. Could we not for once put it away even when we sleep? Don't be a slave to your cellphone.
Don't sleep too long in the morning. If you sleep all day you won't get tired in the evening. The earlier you get up, the earlier you will get tired in the evening. Working out, excercising also make you more tired.
Buy a good sleeping matress.

Hop tea
Hop tea

If I want extra good sleep I make a tea of Raspberry leaves, Hop, Chamomile and Marshmallow herb. I sleep very good most times I use that. I usually cook a whole pot, let it cool, pour into pitcher and have the fridge. The tea leaves, herbs can soak in the water several days before I sieves so that it will be strong enough. Then I take a few sips when necessary. I always pray to God in the evening before I go to bed and thank Him for the day. I always also asks Jesus Christ to bless my sleep and I seldom have sleeping problems.
