3. Chamomile tea
A popular herbal tea, chamomile tea helps to promote sleepiness in the evening, helping to support restful, good quality sleep. Chamomile contains an antioxidant called apigenin, that binds to receptors in the brain that promote relaxation and sleepiness.
Studies show that those who consume chamomile tea tend to fall asleep more quickly and wake less frequently during the night than those who don’t.
It’s best to drink a cup of warm chamomile tea one to two hours before you plan to go to sleep, as it may cause you to wake in the night needing to urinate.
Summary:
Chamomile tea is an effective bedtime tea as it contains an antioxidant called apigenin that promotes sleepiness.
