Chamomile

Chamomile is a plant whose sedative properties make it popular for promoting sleep. Chamomile includes apigenin, an antioxidant that promotes muscular relaxation and sleep. Chamomile was proven to improve sleep quality safely in a review of 12 research. Another research looked at how chamomile tea affected 80 women who had recently given birth and were having trouble sleeping. When compared to a control group, they reported less sleep-difficulty-related symptoms after two weeks.

Chamomile can be drunk as tea, used as an essential oil, or taken as a dietary supplement. Chamomile extract can considerably enhance sleep quality in older people with insomnia, according to a 2017 research. Doctors recommend drinking a cup of chamomile tea 45 minutes before bed to induce sleepiness and fall asleep quickly.
