The Ingredients in this Recipe

Gelatin

Gelatin has a number of benefits including better joint health, improving digestion, etc. For the sake of this recipe, we’ll stick to the benefits of the quality of sleep. Gelatin is a proven aid when it comes to helping insomniacs sleep well or with improving the quality of poor sleep.

Gelatin also helps in improving cognitive function and reducing drowsiness during the day. A study first published more than 10 years ago also found that Gelain also helps reduce the time a person takes to fall asleep.

Unprocessed Honey

The brain uses liver glycogen or sugar stored in the liver as a source of energy for its functions. Given that the human brain is most active during the night, stores of liver glycogen are used by the brain when we are at rest. This slightly raises our body’s insulin level which encourages the chemical tryptophan to enter the brain which in turn boosts rest and relaxation.

Unprocessed honey is a great source of mental energy.

Sour Cherry Juice

Sour cherries are an organic source of melatonin. As published in a medical study, Melatonin contains naturally occurring polyphenolic compounds and helps the body in regulating our sleep-wake cycle. It also helps increase the amount of tryptophan available to the body. Tryptophan is an essential amino acid and is a forerunner of serotonin – the compound that aids in sleep.

CBD Oil

Medical research has shown that CBD may have a positive impact on the quantity and quality of sleep and help relieve insomnia in patients.

When used in smaller doses, CBD can also help in stimulating alertness and reduce drowsiness during the day. This effect of CBD is especially important when trying to improve efficiency and performance during day-time tasks and for the general improvement of an individual’s sleep-wake cycle.
