PEOPLE who have trouble falling asleep have likely given a number of 'sleep hacks' a go to get a good night's snooze. <\/p>\n

If you've had varying success with these, a bedtime snack that supposedly helps you drop to sleep faster might not give you much hope of reaching the land of the nod. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The fact that this hack has gained popularity on TikTok might also make you hesitate. <\/p>\n

But app users and experts swear by eating pineapple before bedtime, raving about the fruit's melatonin-boosting properties for "the best sleep ever."<\/p>\n

You'll have heard of melatonin if you regularly suffer with sleep problems. <\/p>\n

It's a hormone that naturally occurs in the body, whose levels rise at night to get you sleepy and return to normal in the day. <\/p>\n

Simple hack one hour before bed can help you sleep during hot weather<\/h3>\n

A synthetic version of the hormone can be taken for short periods of time by people with sleep problems such as insomnia. <\/p>\n

According to the NHS, the tablets add to your body's natural supply of melatonin, so you fall asleep more quickly and you're less likely to wake up during the night.<\/p>\n

It's not recommended that you take it for long periods of time and it mostly tends to be prescribed to adults over the age of 55. <\/p>\n

What you might not know is that certain foods can naturally increase the levels of melatonin in your body, with pineapple being one of them. <\/p>\n

TikToker Emma Leigh captioned a video that got over 46,000 views: "Eating pineapple before bed helps me fall asleep faster and sleep so much deeper." <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, certified health coach Valerie Ribon said pineapples increase melatonin production in your body 'way more' than drinking tart cherry juice – this is another sleep hack that has made its rounds on the app and is touted by health experts.<\/p>\n

The tropical fruit can also be "extremely helpful for bloat and digestion", Valerie added, suggesting using frozen<\/span> pineapples to make a pineapple cinnamon tea. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Dr Alan Mandell – known as @motivationaldoc on TikTok – said pineapple contains a digestive enzyme called bromelain that reduces inflammation in your body and also boosts melatonin levels to help you "get to sleep fast and sleep deeply throughout the night".<\/p>\n

If that won't convince you to nibble on the tropical fruit after dinner, pineapple's high melatonin content has also been noted by scientists. <\/p>\n

Research from 2013 looking at the melatonin content of fruit found that eating pineapple could raise levels of the sleep hormone in people's pee by a whopping 266 per cent. <\/p>\n

Bananas were also observed to up melatonin levels in participants by 180 per cent. <\/p>\n

Pineapple and bananas aren't the only foods that boost the sleep-inducing hormone. <\/p>\n
