We love our before-bed snacks. Like many, nighttime and
snacking go hand in hand for us. Wouldn’t it be cool if snacks helped you
with healthy sleep habits and didn’t keep you up with regret?
We recently heard about Nightfood, a delicious ice cream that
makes you feel ready for sleep before bed. It sounds like a bedtime plan!
People are hardwired to crave sweet, salty and fat snacks before bed, but in addition to already not getting enough quality sleep, those other snacks are keeping us up by making us feel lousy.
All of this adds up to no bloating or tummy troubles. How
awful is it to turn in with your snack hanging around and causing cramps and reflux?
This won’t happen with Nightfood.
In addition to all of the good stuff, Nightfood contains 100mg of tryptophan per
serving. Tryptophan is a naturally occurring amino acid in some meats and dairy
products that helps the body produce serotonin and melatonin. It’s also one of
the reasons why you want to pass out after eating Thanksgiving dinner -- hello, turkey! – or a glass of warm milk is an
age-old sleep remedy. There’s twice as much tryptophan in Nightfood as there is in regular
ice cream, yet still the same amount that occurs in most diets throughout
the day.
You can rest assured that Nightfood won’t slip you sleep
medications or drugs, either. In fact, it’s been officially endorsed by the American
Pregnancy Association for a heart-burn free, sleep-friendly snack that pregnant
women are already craving. That explains why a flavor named “Pickles for Two”
exists.
As of now, there are nine flavors including Cookies n’ Dreams,
Midnight Chocolate and Bed and Breakfast with maple and waffle bits. In addition to
markets across the country, Nightfood is also popping up in hotel freezers, so
you can get your snooze on while you’re away.
If you’re already snacking at night, you might as well make
it a good snack and one that doesn’t interrupt your precious sleep. Nightfood is
designed to be that snack. It’s not a miracle cure for bad sleep habits or
insomnia, but you could say it’s part of a balanced sleep routine, like a cool
room and less screen time. It sounds like sweet dreams, indeed.
