That's according to a renowned food scientist, who has helped create the ultimate menu for the perfect night's sleep. Based on university research and scientific evidence, Dr Rachel Edwards-Stuart worked with registered nutritionist Lily Soutter to create a three-course dinner that will help you snooze peacefully by nightfall. Walnuts were also included on the menu, as researchers from the University of Texas found that the nuts contain melatonin as well. Dr Edwards-Stuart and Ms Soutter then found complimentary ingredients to pair these foods with, that would not reduce sleep-enhancing properties. With the main course, they chose magnesium-rich pumpkin seeds to pair with the chicken, as well as sweet potato, a source of tryptophan.
