Does honey help you sleep?

Answer:

Yes, according to a few studies in Canada and Asia. A recent study in Hershey, Penn involving children seemed to corroborate this - Reuters Health, Dec 2007.

Honey -

• Insures adequate liver glycogen stores for 8 hours of sleep thus preventing or limiting early morning release of cortisol and adrenalin (stress hormones).
• Stabilizes blood sugar levels.
• Contributes to the release of melatonin, the hormone required for recovery and rebuilding of body tissues during rest.
