Snooze fest

December 12, 2011

I thank my lucky stars that I’m a good sleeper (my only sleep disturbances can be traced back to this one and her penchant for clawing at drywall).

If you have fitful sleep, however, it may be time to give tart cherry juice a try. Now there’s more evidence (remember this past post?) that the bevvie can help you sleep better: a study published in the European Journal of Nutrition found that two glasses of the tart juice helped people sleep 39 more minutes and experienced 6 percent greater sleep efficiency (ie. the ratio of time in bed sleeping versus awake) when compared to people who drank a cherry fruit cocktail.

Now go get those zzz’s. (Tonight, that is; not right now at the office!)
