There is nothing worse than tossing and turning all night without being able to fall asleep.
We all know that a good night's sleep is essential to feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the day ahead. If you're one of those people who struggle to rest, an expert shared a simple tip that might help.
Sabrina Bava, author of the book Detox to Glow, recently shared her recipe for the perfect bedtime drink on TikTok. According to the health guru, a simple hot drink can significantly improve the quality of your sleep, and it's easy to make.
She suggests sipping warm milk with cinnamon about 90 minutes before bed, claiming it helps calm the mind and relax—something we all need for a good night's sleep.
To make this spiced milk, she uses one cup of plant-based milk, about a quarter to a half teaspoon of cinnamon powder, and half a teaspoon of ghee, simmering the mixture for a few minutes.
Once heated through, simply remove from heat and allow to cool slightly before drizzling some honey on top for extra sweetness.
"For as long as I can remember, I have prepared warm milk with spices in the evening. This option is the most suitable for me. So if you can't fall asleep at night or if you wake up in the middle of the night and can't get back to sleep, you should try this one," added the expert.
After it was shared, the video garnered hundreds of likes and the comments section exploded as well. Sabrina mentioned that cow's milk can be used as an alternative if that is your preference.
Many will remember from their childhood the classic remedy - a glass of milk before going to bed to fall asleep more easily. The effectiveness of this old tale remains debatable as science doesn't fully agree with it, but adding a little spice offers serious benefits.
First, cinnamon has natural muscle-relaxing properties that can aid sleep. In addition, the warmth of the milk is believed to warm the body internally, contributing to a sense of coziness and tranquility.
In addition, milk is rich in tryptophan, the amino acid responsible for stimulating the production of serotonin and melatonin in the body, which are essential for regulating the sleep cycle. | BGNES
