Simple 3-ingredient snack may aid sleep

Consuming a mix of blueberries, pumpkin seeds, and salt before bed is believed to help improve sleep quality, thanks to compounds like tryptophan, polyphenols, and melatonin found in these ingredients. Tryptophan in pumpkin seeds contributes to the production of serotonin and melatonin, which regulate sleep, while blueberries contain small amounts of melatonin. Salt may help regulate the body's biological rhythm. However, experts point out that scientific evidence supporting the effectiveness of this combination is limited. Additionally, consuming salt before sleep could have negative effects, such as raising blood pressure. The timing of food intake is more important than its content, as eating right before bed might impair sleep quality if you're not hungry. Therefore, there is no conclusive evidence that combining these ingredients effectively enhances sleep.
