Walnuts- loaded with omega-3 fatty acids, which are great for your heart health
Spinach- This leafy green is packed with nutrients like iron, calcium, and magnesium

If counting sheep doesn’t work you can try are warm baths, no caffeine past about 3pm, no cell phones or blue light 2 hours before bed, reading right before bed helps many.
