If you drink this during the day, you will sleep better at night!
If you have trouble sleeping, you probably have already tried a lot of hacks and tricks to improve your night’s rest. But did you know that there is a specific drink you can drink to improve your sleep quality? So, no more intricate sleep routine; all you need is some green tea at the right time of day and you’ll sleep like a baby!
Sleep better
According to Micheal Breus, leading sleep specialist known as “The Sleep Doctor” and clinical psychologist, green tea is the drink that will help you sleep better. He told Well + Good: “Drinking green tea throughout the day—yes, rather than at night—may be helpful for reducing fatigue and increasing sleep quality. This is because of a compound in green tea called L-theanine, which helps your brain relax by reducing stress-related hormones and neuron excitement.”
Caffeine
When you drink your green tea several hours before you go to bed, you won’t experience that caffeine high that usually get with drinking green tea. But it does matter what type of green tea you’re drinking. Breus explains: “Make sure you’re drinking a lower-caffeine green tea, if possible—some blends of green tea, particularly matcha, have high caffeine content. This may keep you awake if you drink it too late.”
