The natural ingredient that helps you sleep
Cinnamon: Boost Sleep and Metabolism Naturally
Cinnamon isn’t just a flavorful spice — it may help you sleep better and support metabolism.
Its calming aroma and effects on blood sugar promote “deeper and longer sleep” while reducing stress.
A study in Frontiers in Pharmacology found
cinnamon extract increased sleep-promoting chemicals like serotonin and melatonin and lowered stress hormones.
Cinnamon also aids weight management.
Research shows it can lower body weight and BMI,
raise body temperature to burn fat, and stabilize blood sugar to reduce cravings.
Simple ways to enjoy cinnamon at night include:
- Warm milk infusion: Stir ½ teaspoon into warm milk.
- Herbal tea: Boil a cinnamon stick with lemon.
- Sprinkle on food: Add to yogurt, oatmeal, or baked fruit.
Used in moderation, cinnamon can be a gentle,
natural addition to a healthy bedtime routine, supporting overall wellness.
