3. Kefir – The Gut-Healing Elixir
If bloating, indigestion, or a sluggish gut disrupts your sleep, kefir could be a game-changer. This probiotic-rich fermented drink promotes a healthy gut microbiome, which is closely linked to sleep quality and digestion. Research in Frontiers in Psychiatry suggests that gut health influences mood and sleep by regulating neurotransmitters like serotonin.

- Drink ½ cup of plain kefir 1 hour before bed.
What Happens?
