- Simply natural : eat a very ripe banana an hour before going to bed.
- With a drizzle of honey : For a sweet and relaxing touch, drizzle it lightly with honey.

- Baked with a little cinnamon : a warm little dessert perfect for a cozy evening .
Other small gestures that change your nights
Bananas are an ally, but not a magic wand. To really improve your sleep, also consider:
- Avoid screens and caffeine in the evening
- Create a relaxing bedtime ritual
- Keep a cool, dark bedroom
- Move a little during the day, but not too late
- Limit long naps during the day
And what do we do on your plate?
A balanced diet plays a key role. Favor foods rich in magnesium ( almonds, spinach ), good carbohydrates ( oatmeal, wholemeal bread ), or even soft proteins like turkey or a little cheese . And avoid fatty or sugary dishes in the evening, which complicate digestion and disrupt sleep.
Which just goes to show that sometimes, all it takes is a small gesture to see big changes. What if you tried the magic banana tonight?
