insomnia (Insomnia) Nowadays, many people suffer from this problem, and this problem can significantly affect the quality of life.

While Bambi aims to provide you with a comfortable sleep environment, we also have some suggestions on how to overcome insomnia through healthy eating habits.
Dinner selection

Caffeine and alcohol
Caffeine and alcohol can negatively affect your sleep patterns. Avoiding such drinks, especially before bed, ensures better quality sleep. If a beverage is preferred, caffeine-free options such as herbal teas are ideal.
Milk and other sources of calcium
Milk helps relax and relax muscles thanks to the calcium it contains. However, if you have a problem such as lactose intolerance, alternatives such as almond milk can also be considered.
