Having trouble falling asleep at night? A new Australian study has found adding chilli to your diet will make you drift off to sleep quicker and leap out of bed with more energy.
University of Tasmania physiologist Andrew Davies put 25 volunteers on a controlled diet for four weeks. They then repeated the eating plan for another four weeks, this time adding 30 grams of chopped uncooked chilli to their daily diet. Participants reported they fell asleep easier with the spicy addition. Sleep time was shorter on a chilli diet and volunteers made fewer movements during sleep suggesting they may have slept more deeply. Result won't happen with a single spicy meal, Dr Davies warns. Stick with the chilli for a little longer.
