Sleep is very vital for humans as it helps us to recover all the energy we lost during the course of our daily chores, thereby reviving our body.

A lot of time, the foods we eat before going to bed has a direct effect on our sleep quality. There are plenty of foods that are good for good night sleep. Here are two of such foods.

1. Fish

Although there exist a variety of fish out there but for the sake of a better night rest, you need fishes that are high in protein such as salmon, tuna, etc.

These fishes are also a great source of tryptophan, which is known for inducing and enhancing quality sleep.

2. Nuts
