What helped my sleeping issue! (might not work for everyone)
So a bit of context, I've been suffering with a lack of sleep for pretty much a year now, where I would sleep for 4-5 hours only and wake up alert and well rested even though it wasn't enough (for example I would sleep at 12:am and wake up at 4:am) and I tried multiple fixes over time and none worked.
Here is what I tried,
chamomile tea: didn't really do anything except make me a bit calmer
Melatonin pills: helped me fall asleep faster but still only got 4-5 hours
Daily sunlight in eyes at the same time every morning to help with rhythm: didn't help on its own.
Eye mask: helped but didn't work on its own
Drinking magnesium pills: definitely did not work
What really helped me was eating kiwis before bed, I did some research and found out that they tested kiwis in a few studies and they found out that they help you fall asleep for longer, so I ate one every night an hour before bed and it worked greatly, instead of only 4-5 hours a sleep, I get boosted to 7-8 hours! I don't get any interrupted sleep anymore and I buy kiwis in bulk now to eat them every night and i did this for weeks and it still rings true now, this may not help everyone because everybody is different but it's how it fixed me.
