Improving your nutrition
Vitamin B: As lack of sleep has always been linked with poor immune system, a diet focusing on foods rich in vitamin Bs is good because vitamin Bs are good for immune function, iron absorption and energy production. The B-complex vitamins are also essential for mental and emotional well-being. You may include food rich in vitamin Bs into your daily diet such as meat, poultry, whole grains, green leafy vegetables, dairy and nuts.
Vitamin D: Vitamin D is related to melatonin, one of the most important nutrients to help you optimise your sleep. This helps improve the performance of pineal gland, where melatonin comes from.
