The Truth Behind the Pineapple Sleep Hack: Expert Verdict
The viral TikTok trend of eating pineapple before bed for better sleep is supported by the melatonin-boosting properties of the fruit, but sleep coach Dave Gibson suggests that Montmorency tart cherries are an even better option due to their higher melatonin levels. Melatonin helps regulate the body's internal clock and promotes sleep. Other foods like eggs, fish, nuts, and certain fruits and vegetables are also good dietary sources of melatonin. However, indulging in junk food can contribute to sleeplessness. TikTok users have shared their positive experiences with pineapple, claiming it helps them fall asleep faster and sleep deeper.
