Fruits that help you fall asleep faster

Cherries Cherries (especially sour cherries like the Montmorency variety) are one of the only (and highest) natural food sources of melatonin.

Bananas Bananas are a good source of vitamin B6, which raises serotonin levels (the relaxing neurotransmitters that affect your quality of sleep).

Pineapples With even more melatonin-boosting benefits than bananas, pineapples are a sweet choice for easing insomnia or jet lag.

Oranges Oranges can increase the melatonin in your body by approximately 47 percent, but that’s not the only reason you should eat them.

Avocados Avocados are high in magnesium, which is sometimes referred to as the sleep mineral.

Kale At the risk of sounding trite, kale is actually really good for you—and good for your sleep.

Tomatoes Tomatoes are rich in the phytonutrient lycopene, which helps you stay asleep.

Carrots Carrots are packed with alpha-carotene, which is closely associated with better sleep.
