Garbanzo Beans (Chickpeas)
三角豆(鹰嘴豆)
High-fiber garbanzo beans are rich in vitamin B6, which your body uses to produce serenity-boosting serotonin. Try adding garbanzo beans to salads, soups, and stews when you need sleep. Or use this easy recipe for spiced red-pepper hummus to have a healthy snack on hand when you can't sleep.
高纤维的三角豆富含维生素B6,能够帮助体内生产安神的血清素。当你想睡觉的时候,在色拉,汤或者杂烩里加一点三角豆吧。或者再简单一点,做一份红椒鹰嘴豆泥,作为你失眠时候的小食吧。

Chamomile Tea
菊花茶
This herbal drink lacks the caffeine found in traditional teas, and it has a calming effect on the body. (That's why it's one of our favorite ingredients for these DIY spa treatments.) Also, a warm liquid before bed can make you sleepy by raising body temperature.
相较于普通的茶饮,这款草本饮料咖啡因含量很低,同时还有着凝神的功效。(这就是为什么菊花是我们自己做水疗时最喜欢加入的原料了)还有,睡前一杯热饮可以通过提升体内温度来增加睡意。

Honey
蜂蜜
A rise in blood sugar can reduce the production of orexin in the brain. Orexin is a recently discovered neurotransmitter that's been linked to wakefulness. Try drizzling a small amount of honey in your chamomile tea.
血糖含量的增加可以抑制脑中食欲素的产生。食欲素近几年被发现时保持清醒的神经递质。试着在菊花茶中加入小量的蜂蜜。


Dried tart cherries
酸樱桃干
A handful of dried cherries not only provides the requisite serotonin-boosting carbs, it's also one of few food sources of melatonin, which has been found to promote better sleep and lessen the effects of jet lag. Plus, tart cherries are packed with age-fighting antioxidants.
一把干樱桃不仅提供凝神所必需的碳水化合物,它同样是褪黑激素的食源之一。褪黑激素被认为是增进睡眠质量并降低时差反应的物质。但是,樱桃干中含有抗衰老的抗氧化剂。
