Nighttime Drinks for Pregnancy
Bad sleep shouldn't be another thing you're expecting when pregnant. Many pregnant women enjoy an evening wind-down ritual to help them get the best sleep possible at a time when sleep can be hard to come by. Here are a few safe, satisfying options we'd recommend for better sleep(we'd obviously suggest Full Moon... But hey, we're bias)
- Warm milk with cinnamon
- Chamomile tea
- Tart cherry juice
- And of course… Full Moon
Warm Milk With Cinnamon
Warm milk contains tryptophan, an amino acid that helps your body produce serotonin and melatonin—hormones that regulate sleep. The warmth is soothing, and cinnamon adds a comforting flavour while potentially helping to stabilise blood sugar levels overnight. The ritual of sipping something warm can also signal to your body that it’s time to wind down and enjoy a restful night's sleep
Chamomile Tea
Chamomile is a classic herbal tea known for its calming effects, and has been long used as an aid for relaxation and better sleep. It contains apigenin, an antioxidant that binds to certain receptors in your brain, promoting relaxation and reducing insomnia. Many people find that chamomile tea helps them fall asleep more easily and improves sleep quality.
Tart Cherry Juice
Tart cherries are a natural source of melatonin, the hormone that controls your sleep-wake cycle. Drinking tart cherry juice can slightly increase melatonin levels in the body, which may help you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. Some studies suggest it can be especially helpful for people with insomnia
