Banana? Yes indeed! The science-backed claim stated that the magnesium and potassium found in bananas can help your mind and muscles relax, helping you to fall asleep more easily.

Researchers from B-Well CBD, a company manufacturing essential oils for various needs including sleep aid, said that consuming a banana not long before bed can stimulate the production of key brain calming hormones, allowing you to enjoy some quality sleep.

TikTok users who have put the hack to the test have shared their findings and experiences, with many saying that the magical fruit did indeed help them sleep.

One savvy mum, Allison, admitted that she uses this hack to put her baby to sleep.

“This trick was life-changing!" she raved.

"I have had the absolute worst sleeper since the day she was born. We started the banana trick, we're about 8 months in and she sleeps through the night."

I have loved bananas all my lie - On toast for breakfast, but now with Chronic Kidney Disease CKD, I am not allowed to eat them because of their high potassium levels. Much other fruit and vegetable are also for minimum use only. A shame, but a life-saving tip for me.
