Bananas help you fall asleep and can enhance the quality of your sleep. According to research, this theory might have scientific support.

Bananas are a great source of tryptophan, an important amino acid that the body cannot generate on its own.

Tryptophan enters the body where it is turned into serotonin, a precursor to melatonin that can aid in melatonin synthesis.

Bananas are also a good source of magnesium, with a medium banana containing roughly 35 milligrammes. Additionally, magnesium encourages the production of melatonin.

Humans are hypnotised by melatonin, which can shorten the time it takes to fall asleep, possibly lengthen sleep, and support the maintenance of good sleep habits.

As a result, melatonin is also referred to as the body's "natural sleeping pill."
