Drinking this juice before bed can get you 84 minutes more sleep
Nothing worse than waking up in the morning after a single hour of sleep. Whether it’s your fault or not, it’s a bad feeling – particularly if you had the available sleep-space there, but instead you spent the night staring at the ceiling, contemplating life, death and the fact you still haven’t finished half of the chores that you were meant to… Doesn’t set you up for a productive day at work, does it?
So what do you do to help you drift off to the land of recharge – the place to nod your batteries? I mean, there’s counting sheep (doesn’t work), the Calm app (works too well and makes getting up almost impossible) or imagining a brick wall (which is what I do to varying effect). It’s either that or drink cherry juice, right?
Published in the , the research found that drinking specifically Montmorency tart cherry juice gave volunteers about an average of an hour and 24 minutes extra sleep each night. Annoying if that extra time was after their alarms went off of course, but sleep is sleep.
Researchers gathered a bunch of people and gave them either a placebo or a tarty cherry juice to drink twice a day, then they were asked to fill out a questionnaire about their sleeping habits. After two weeks, the placebos and juices were swapped, before eventually a final questionnaire was filled out. What a mission for all involved, I think you’ll agree.
Turns out that those that downed a cold glass of CJ increased their sleepy time by an average of 84 minutes per night and their overall sleep efficiency increased on the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index.
The reason for this is that the Montmorency cherry drink contains compounds that inhibit the production of sleep-depriving chemicals in the old noggin. It also reduces levels of kynurenine in the blood, a substance that also leads to poor sleep. Aside from that, chezza juice is also high in procyanidins and anthocyanins, which are pretty good for you, as it happens, and can help reduce inflammation. And nobody wants inflammation, trust me.
So, it’s not exactly hiding in your local supermarket’s juice aisle, but it’s still mega easy to get hold of (Waitrose has it), and you can also get it in tablet form.
Bonne nuit.
