If you struggle to fall asleep or wake up throughout the night, adding just one tablespoon of peanut butter 30 to 60 minutes before bed can make a big difference. Peanut butter supplies tryptophan, magnesium, healthy fats, and B-vitamins that help calm your nervous system and support melatonin production. When combined with a small amount of healthy carbohydrates, more tryptophan enters the brain to support deeper sleep.
Peanut butter provides magnesium that helps activate the parasympathetic nervous system, supports GABA receptors in the brain, reduces nighttime cortisol spikes, and promotes a sense of relaxation. The protein and healthy fats also help stabilize blood sugar through the night, preventing those sudden cortisol surges that wake many people up.
Use regular creamy peanut butter. Natural peanut butter with no added sugar is ideal. One tablespoon is enough.
