Trying to get more shut-eye? Take a look at your diet. Eating the right foods in the hours before you hit the hay may help you fall asleep faster, say experts, and even improve the quality of your sleep. Keep reading for your get-sleepy grocery list, and remember to stop noshing two hours before bedtime to give your body enough time to properly digest.

你正为获得更多睡眠而努力吗？看看你的日常饮食吧。专家说，在上床前进食些合适的食物可以帮助你更快进入睡眠，甚至可以改进你的睡眠质量。潜心于自己的促睡眠水果清单吧，记住睡前两小时内不要吃点心，以给身体完全消化（食物）足够的时间。

Almonds

“Almonds are a winner,” says Jacob Teitelbaum, MD, medical director of the Fibromyalgia and Fatigue Centers, and author of the bestselling book From Fatigued to Fantastic! “They contain magnesium, which promotes both sleep and muscle relaxation,” he says. “And they have the added benefit of supplying proteins that can help maintain a stable blood sugar level while sleeping, and help promote sleep by switching you from your alert adrenaline cycle to your rest-and-digest cycle.” Try this bedtime snack: Have a tablespoon of almond butter or a 1-ounce portion of almonds to help your body relax.

杏仁

“杏仁是一个好东西（胜出者）”，纤维肌痛及慢性疲劳中心医务主任同时也是畅销书[从疲劳到美妙]作者，医学博士雅各布.太图巴恩说： “杏仁含镁，镁既可以改进睡眠也可以促进肌肉放松”，他说，“它还有另外的好处，就是补充蛋白质，从而帮助在睡觉过程中维持稳定的血糖水平，通过将人体从警戒性肾上腺素循环转换到休息-消化循环，从而帮助促进睡眠”。试试这些睡前小吃：吃一大汤匙杏仁酱或者一份一盎司的杏仁来帮助自己身体放松。

Tea

Yes, avoiding all caffeine in the evening hours is key, but some decaf varieties can help get you into sleep mode, says Dr. Teitelbaum. “Chamomile tea is a very helpful and safe sleep aid,” he says, adding that green tea is another good choice. “Green tea contains theanine, which helps promote sleep. Just be sure you get a decaf green tea if drinking it at bedtime.” Experts recommend trying a 1-cup serving of the hot stuff. Photo: Thinkstock

茶

太图巴恩说，没错，傍晚时分应避免进食所有咖啡因很关键，但是有些脱咖啡因类品种可以帮助你进入睡眠模式， 他说，“甘菊茶是一种非常有益且安全的睡眠助手”，又补充说绿茶是另一种很好的选择“绿茶包含茶氨酸，该物质可以促进睡眠，只是在就寝时间饮用时，要确保你用的是脱咖啡因绿茶”，专家建议可以试试一杯热茶饮。

Miso Soup

You love to order this comforting, broth-based soup in Japanese restaurants, but keeping a few 8-ounce packs of instant miso soup at home may be key when you’re having trouble falling asleep, says Stella Metsovas, CN, a nutritionist in Laguna Beach, California. Here’s why: Miso contains amino acids that may boost the production of melatonin, a natural hormone that can help induce the yawns. Bonus: Research shows that warm liquids like soup and tea may also relieve cold symptoms, helping you sleep better when you're feeling under the weather. Photo: Shutterstock

日本豆面汤

在日式餐馆里，你爱点这道温润体贴的高汤炖制的汤，但是，在当你碰到睡眠问题时，家里备有一些8盎司装的速食豆面汤可以起到重要作用，加利福利亚乐古乐沙滩地区的一个营养学家斯特纳.马齿苏娃说。原因在这里：日本豆面酱里含促进褪黑激素产生的氨基酸，该褪黑激素是一种可以引起哈欠的天然的荷尔蒙。另外的好处：研究表明，诸如汤和茶之类的热液体还可以帮助你缓解伤风感冒症状，当你感觉身体不适时，可以更好地帮助睡眠。

Banana

Worried about falling asleep tonight? Have a banana before bed, says Saundra Dalton-Smith, MD, an internist and the author of Set Free to Live Free: Breaking Through the 7 Lies Women Tell Themselves. “Bananas are an excellent source of magnesium and potassium, which help to relax overstressed muscles. They also contain tryptophan, which convert to serotonin and melatonin, the brain’s key calming hormones." Try this tasty and incredibly simple bedtime smoothie: Blend one banana with one cup of milk or soy milk (and ice, if desired). Pour and enjoy! Photo: Shutterstock

香蕉

正为今晚睡眠问题担心吗？在上床前吃一支香蕉，内科医生同时也是[只管自由自在生活：破解女人常对自己说的七个谎话]一书的作者，医学博士绍觉.德塔.史密斯说,”香蕉是镁和钾的极好来源，该矿物质可以帮助我们放松过度紧张的肌肉，同时，它含色氦酸，该物质在人体内可以转换为复合胺和褪黑激素，这两种物质又是镇定大脑的关键荷尔蒙”，试试这种又好吃又超简单的睡前小可爱吧：将一支香蕉与一杯牛奶或豆奶（如果有需要，可加冰）混和。倒出来，享用吧。

Dairy

Yogurt, milk and cheese do contain tryptophan, notes Dr. Dalton-Smith, but also have a surprising sleep-inducing nutrient: “Calcium is effective in stress reduction and stabilization of nerve fibers, including those in the brain." That means a serving of your favorite Greek yogurt before bed can not only help you sleep, but also help you stop worrying about the weird thing your boss said earlier at work. Photo: Thinkstock
奶制品

酸奶、牛奶和乳酪确实含色胺酸，德塔.史密斯说，但是，它还具有令人惊奇的促睡营养素“钙对于减轻包括脑部的在内的人体压力和稳定其神经纤维方面，是很有效的，这就意味着，在睡前喝一份你所喜爱的希腊酸奶，不仅可以帮助睡眠，也可以帮助你停止担心诸如你老板之前在工作中所讲的奇奇怪怪的事情。

Oatmeal

You eat it for breakfast, but could a bowl of warm oatmeal help you get more rest? Yes, says Stephan Dorlandt, a clinical nutritionist based in Southern California. “Think about it,” he says. “Oatmeal is warm, soft, soothing, easy to prepare, inexpensive and nourishing. It’s rich in calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, silicon and potassium—the who's who of nutrients known to support sleep.” But go easy on the sweeteners; too much sugar before bed can have an anti-calming effect. Instead, consider topping your bowl with fruit, like bananas (see above). Photo: Shutterstock

燕麦

你早餐常吃，但是一碗热燕麦能帮助你获得更多睡眠吗？答案是肯定的，南加利福利亚一个临床营养师史丹佛.多南得说：“可以考虑考虑哦， 燕麦温暖、光滑、温润、易于烹制、便宜而又营养丰富。它富含钙、镁、磷、硅和钾——这些都是支持睡眠的众所周知的营养素”。但是少加些甜味剂，过量的糖会有反镇定的效果。取而代之，可以考虑在上面加上水果，如香蕉（看上面）。

Hard-Cooked Egg

If you have trouble staying asleep at night, it may be because you didn’t eat a pre-bedtime snack high in protein, or perhaps your snack was too high in simple, high-sugar carbohydrates, like cake and candy. “The problem with simple carbs is that they can put you on a ‘sugar roller coaster’ and drop your blood sugar while you're sleeping, causing you to wake at 2 or 3 in the morning,” says Dr. Teitelbaum. A better bet? “Eat an egg, cheese, nuts or other protein-rich snack instead,” he says, “so you can not only fall asleep, but stay asleep.” Photo: Shutterstock

煮鸡蛋(煮老）

如果晚上你保持睡眠状态有问题，可能是因为你吃的睡前小吃不是高蛋白的，或者是因为吃了太多如蛋糕和糖果之类的简单高糖碳水化合物，简单碳水化合物的问题是它们可以将你放上一个“糖过山车(极端变化)”，当你睡眠时又降低你的血糖，造成你在凌晨醒上2到3个小时，太图巴特说，想知道更好的选择？ “吃一个鸡蛋、奶酪、坚果或其他的高蛋白食物”。他说，“这样就不仅是帮你进入睡眠，也帮你保持睡眠。”

Edamame

Craving a salty snack before bed? Turn to lightly salted edamame, says Dr. Dalton-Smith—especially if you’re dealing with menopause-related symptoms. “The natural estrogen-like compounds found in soy-based products can be very beneficial in controlling those nighttime hot flashes that can disturb your sleep,” she says. If it’s crackers and dip you’re craving, try making this easy edamame recipe: In a food processor, blend together 2 cups of shelled, cooked edamame with 1 tsp salt, a drizzle of olive oil and 1 clove garlic (optional) until smooth.

毛豆

在睡前，非常想吃咸食？那你吃些轻咸的毛豆吧，德塔.史密斯博士说，尤其是如果你处于更年期综合症，“豆制品中所发现的纯天然的类雌激素化合物对控制干扰睡眠的夜间生理热潮非常有益”她说，如果你非常想吃饼干和沾酱，（那还不如）试试做这道非常简单的毛豆菜：在食品处理机上，将两杯去壳的、煮过的毛豆与一茶匙盐，少许橄榄汁和一瓣大蒜（备选）混和搅拌直到变成流质。

Cherries

Oddly, a glass of cherry juice may be an effective way to fall asleep faster, says a team of researchers from the University of Pennsylvania and University of Rochester. In their study, they found that cherries, particularly tart cherries, naturally boosted the body’s supply of melatonin, which helped people with insomnia. While the jury is still out on how much juice or how many cherries are needed to make you sleepy, experts say sipping a glass of cherry juice (available at most natural foods stores) or having a serving of fresh, frozen or dried cherries before bedtime couldn’t hurt.

樱桃

很奇怪，一玻璃杯樱桃汁对帮助快速进入睡眠可能有帮助，来自宾夕法尼亚大学和罗彻斯特大学的一组研究者说。在研究中，他们发现，樱桃尤其是酸樱桃，可以天然促进人体褪黑激素生成，这就可以帮助那些患失眠症的人。同时，评委会仍然在研究一个问题，就是需要多大量的汁液或者多少樱桃才可以让你睡眠，专家说，吸食一杯樱桃汁（在大多数天然食品商店有都售）或者吃一份新鲜的、冰镇的或干樱桃对人体有益无害。

Cereal

There’s no need to feel guilty about having a small bowl of cereal before bed, especially if it’s a low-sugar, whole-grain cereal. Not only is it a healthy snack (make sure you top it with milk to give your body the protein it needs), but it may also help you snooze. “Complex carbohydrate–rich foods increase the availability of tryptophan in the bloodstream, increasing the sleep-inducing effects,” says Dr. Dalton-Smith. Bonus: Top your bowl with a sprinkling of dried cherries (see above) for extra help catching your zzz's. Photo: Thinkstock

谷类

在睡前吃一小碗谷类食品你不必心虚，尤其是低糖的、整谷谷类食品。它不仅是健康点心（确保上面加上牛奶，以供给身体必需的蛋白质），而且可以帮助睡眠。“复合的富含碳水化合物的食品会增加血流里的色氦酸，增加诱导睡眠效果”，史密斯博士说。另外的好处：在你的碗里加上几粒干樱桃（见以上），可以格外帮助你呼呼入睡。
