We asked a bunch of people about their much-loved late-night beverages. Make sure you're not drinking too much, which may wake you up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night.

So check out the six different teas you can drink to help you sleep better at night.

This article lists 6 herbal teas that can help you relax before bed. It is important to relax your body and mind before you go to bed. This can help you sleep better and improve your quality of life. 

If You Want To Listen Instead Of Reading

It is a great way to start the day with fresh energy if you are tired. There are many ways you can do this, including good nutrition, exercise, and relaxation methods like reading or listening to music. 

The article lists six herbal teas that can help people relax their bodies and minds, so they can sleep better. These include teas, some you might know of, some you may not.

1. Golden Milk

Our first option is golden milk, which is essentially a turmeric coffee and is a personal favorite of ours. Turmeric is an anti-inflammatory with properties that may help you sleep better.

"Once you've had golden milk, you'll be captivated by the way it relaxes and soothes your body and mind at the end of each day, encouraging your entire self to unwind and let go of any worries as you drift off to sleep."

2.Tea made with chamomile flowers

Chamomile tea has long been a nighttime favorite, and for good reason: it includes "apigenin," a crystalline plant phytonutrient component that binds to relaxation receptors in the brain.

This floral tea has been shown in studies to help new moms sleep better—" plus it has some pain-relieving properties, which is a nice bonus."

3. Tea made from jujube

Jujube has long been revered in China for its capacity to relieve stress, improve sleep quality, and support healthy daytime functioning.

"One thing I enjoy about it is that it's also a pretty mild cuisine that doesn't knock folks out or leave them with hangovers the next morning."

A gallon of water, a pound of sweet jujube dates, and a pinch of ginger will yield a drinkable tea. 

4. Tea made from ashwagandha

If stress is preventing you from getting a good night's sleep, ashwagandha may be worth a try.

It contains sitoindosides and acyl steryl glucosides, which have a soothing impact on the body and are particularly useful for stress relief. "

5. Valerian tea is a herbal drink. 

One famous sleep tea that you've definitely encountered is Valerian tea. I've drunk this tea many times, and it's a great way to unwind.

It's not a tea to drink for a long time, but its valepotriates and sesquiterpenes are "natural sedatives that can help you fall asleep sooner and improve sleep."

6. Cherry juice with a tang

Finally, cold weather suggests drinking sour cherry juice before bedtime because it has anti-inflammatory qualities.

In both men and women, drinking tart cherry juice before bed has been demonstrated to increase sleep length and quality. Not for me this one, but if it kicks your boat, try it.
