Getting Adequate Sleep

"Tart cherry juice could get you more shut-eye" Experimental Biology 2014

As caregivers there are lots of interruptions to adequate sleep.  Stress, over work, worry about finances, etc. can keep us awake for hours.  This study showed that people who drank 8 ounces of tart cherry juice twice a day slept an impressive 84 more minutes per night than they did if given a placebo.  Cherries have significant amounts of the hormone melatonin.  Look for juice made from Montmorency tart cherries, which have the highest content of melatonin.   This is a safe and nonaddictive way to support adequate sleep.
