Melatonin, often called the “sleep hormone,” is naturally produced when it gets dark, helping regulate our sleep-wake cycle. But modern lifestyles, especially exposure to blue light from screens, can interfere with its production. Luckily, here are 7 ways to naturally boost melatonin and improve sleep:
✔️ Get sunlight in the morning to regulate your body clock. ☀️
✔️ Exercise regularly, but preferably during the day. 🏃♂️
✔️ Reduce screen time in the evening to limit blue light exposure. 📱❌
✔️ Maximize natural light indoors during the day. 🌿
✔️ Eat foods rich in tryptophan (nuts, bananas, eggs) to support melatonin production. 🍌🥚
✔️ Stick to a consistent sleep schedule to reinforce your body’s rhythm. ⏰
✔️ Sleep in total darkness to optimize nighttime melatonin release. 🌑
Some people also use melatonin supplements under medical advice to reset their sleep cycle.
👉 Do you have a bedtime routine that helps boost melatonin naturally?
👉 Have you tried melatonin supplements? Did they help?
👉 What other tips do you use to improve sleep quality?
