Hi everyone,

Lately I have been having horrible nights of sleep, as in that I wake up during the night and can't really fall asleep again or if I do it seems to be very superficial sleep. It feels as if I can't get into deep sleep anymore once I have woken up during the night.

Sometimes this seems to affect my muscles, brain and stomach as well. The strange thing is that once I get up I feel tired for a bit, then it goes away, until evening comes and feel very tired early on the evening.

I was looking up all kinds of foods that contain melatonin and I noticed that a lot of them are foods that I eat in the morning or during the day (walnuts, oranges, oat, bananas) so I was wondering if it matters WHEN you eat these foods to enhance sleep?

Any other suggestions to enhance sleep are very welcome. As extra info I would like to state that I normally have no problem at all falling asleep, that usually happens in 5-10min.

edit: I also wanted to add the fact that I've introduced raw cacao to my diet lately and was wondering if this could have anything to do with my sleeping problems?
