Dreaming, Sleeping...Diet....

Saving a link to this article, which was quite interesting. I tried adding more vitamin C, lutein, and selenium into my diet, and I think I am sleeping better. So, give it a look!

"... a new study from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania shows for the first time that certain nutrients may play an underlying role in short and long sleep duration and that people who report eating a large variety of foods – an indicator of an overall healthy diet – had the healthiest sleep patterns. The new research is published online, ahead-of-print in the journal Appetite."

It was interesting, wasn't it? I am continuing my search for sleep, and have purchased a very potent melatonin to add in tonight. Will report back....
