Sleep disorders can not only seriously affect everyday life, but also have a negative impact on health. Therefore, many are looking for ways to get a good night’s sleep without the need for drugs.
Sleep disorders are one of the most common problems in society today. Stress, joint pain or too much technology can trigger this.
Regular sleeping habits can be very helpful in solving this problem. In addition , we recommend various natural mixed drinks that you can take in addition to promote a good sleep .
1. Almond milk with honey for a good night’s sleep
A tablespoon of honey in the evening is very helpful in promoting deep, peaceful sleep.
- Our grandmothers used milk with honey to help them sleep better. But not everyone can tolerate lactose, which is why we use almond milk in this recipe.
- Almonds contain tryptophan and magnesium, two substances that, when combined with honey, ensure a good night’s sleep.
- Honey also increases insulin levels in the blood and thus stimulates tryptophan production in the brain. This gives us a sufficient dose of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that has a relaxing effect and can promote sleep.
ingredients
- 25 g honey
- 1 glass of almond milk
preparation
- First, heat the milk until it is lukewarm, not too hot. Be aware that drinks that are too hot can damage the liver.
- Add honey and take 1/2 hour before bedtime.
2. Oat milk with banana

The banana does not get everyone’s stomach (especially in the evening).
But if you use a not too ripe banana and mix it with a glass of oat milk in a blender, you will see how delicious and digestible it is and how it promotes sleep.
The banana, like honey, is rich in tryptophan and causes an increased release of serotonin. On the other hand, lukewarm oats induce sleep.
Well worth trying this drink.
ingredients
- 1 not too ripe banana
- 1 glass of oat milk
preparation
The preparation is very simple. Heat the oat milk a little and then use the hand blender with the banana to make a shake. Drink this 1 hour before bed.

Delicious, rich in vitamins and calming: cherry juice is a natural remedy that is very effective against insomnia.
- The secret in this case is melatonin, a substance produced by the pineal gland that regulates certain body functions, such as the sleep cycle.
- Sleep experts advise drinking 2 glasses of cherry juice a day. 1 glass in the afternoon and 1 more 2 hours before bed. The effects are cumulative. At the same time, you supply your organism with important antioxidants that protect the heart and liver.
- Natural cherry juice can already be found in many supermarkets, even if you can make it yourself when it is in season by mixing 10 cherries with 1 glass of water in a blender.
