Nutrition experts say that fish, lean meats like turkey, eggs, salad, legumes like chickpeas or lentils and dairy products are all good choices for promoting restful sleep.

Starchy foods like potatoes are beneficial too, as they provide slow-release sugars that help sustain you for the duration of the night.

Generally speaking, foods with a low glycemic index, such as sweet potatoes and legumes, will help keep you feeling full.

Whole grains are another excellent option.
