不要再數羊了:十種助你熟睡的食物(2)
Garbanzo Beans (Chickpeas)
三角豆（鷹嘴豆）
High-fiber garbanzo beans are rich in vitamin B6, which your body uses to produce serenity-boosting serotonin. Try adding garbanzo beans to salads, soups, and stews when you need sleep. Or use this easy recipe for spiced red-pepper hummus to have a healthy snack on hand when you can't sleep.
高纖維的三角豆富含維生素B6，能夠幫助體內生產安神的血清素。當你想睡覺的時候，在色拉，湯或者雜燴里加一點三角豆吧。或者再簡單一點，做一份紅椒鷹嘴豆泥，作爲你失眠時候的小食吧。
Chamomile Tea
菊花茶
This herbal drink lacks the caffeine found in traditional teas, and it has a calming effect on the body. (That's why it's one of our favorite ingredients for these DIY spa treatments.) Also, a warm liquid before bed can make you sleepy by raising body temperature.
相較於普通的茶飲，這款草本飲料咖啡因含量很低，同時還有着凝神的功效。（這就是爲什麼菊花是我們自己做水療時最喜歡加入的原料了）還有，睡前一杯熱飲可以通過提升體內溫度來增加睡意。
Honey
蜂蜜
A rise in blood sugar can reduce the production of orexin in the brain. Orexin is a recently discovered neurotransmitter that's been linked to wakefulness. Try drizzling a small amount of honey in your chamomile tea.
血糖含量的增加可以抑制腦中食慾素的產生。食慾素近幾年被發現時保持清醒的神經遞質。試着在菊花茶中加入小量的蜂蜜。
Dried tart cherries
酸櫻桃幹
A handful of dried cherries not only provides the requisite serotonin-boosting carbs, it's also one of few food sources of melatonin, which has been found to promote better sleep and lessen the effects of jet lag. Plus, tart cherries are packed with age-fighting antioxidants.
一把幹櫻桃不僅提供凝神所必需的碳水化合物，它同樣是褪黑激素的食源之一。褪黑激素被認爲是增進睡眠質量並降低時差反應的物質。但是，櫻桃幹中含有抗衰老的抗氧化劑。
