Eating pineapple before bed may improve sleep quality, study finds

Experts suggest that eating pineapple before bed may improve sleep quality. Pineapple can increase melatonin levels, a hormone that regulates sleep, by 266%, according to a study. Other fruits like bananas and oranges also boost melatonin but to a lesser extent. Pineapple contains bromelain, which may help with muscle relaxation. Some individuals report better sleep after consuming pineapple, sharing positive experiences on social media. For best results, sleep coaches recommend eating pineapple 1-2 hours before bedtime. However, those with diabetes or blood sugar concerns should avoid this practice.
