Ten Foods That Help You Sleep 1. Kiwi: Rich in antioxidants, folate, and serotonin, kiwi helps you fall asleep faster and improves sleep. 2. Tart Cherries: High in melatonin, tart cherries support circadian rhythms and increase sleep time and efficiency. 3. Malted Milk: A nostalgic nightcap with B and D vitamins, magnesium, and melatonin from milk, promoting relaxation. 4. Fatty Fish (e.g., Salmon): Full of vitamin D and omega-3s, which boost serotonin and support sleep cycles. 5. Nuts: Almonds, walnuts, and pistachios contain melatonin, magnesium, and zinc, shown to improve sleep in studies. 6. Rice: Its high glycemic index may help you fall asleep faster when eaten a few hours before bed. 7. Dairy: Milk, yogurt, and cheese offer tryptophan, calcium, and melatonin; pairing with carbs boosts effects. 8. Leafy Greens: Spinach, kale, and lettuce are rich in magnesium, supporting stress reduction and muscle relaxation. 9. Bananas: Packed with tryptophan, magnesium, and potassium to ease tension and encourage restful sleep. 10.

Comedy Corner From Tom Haveman They're Back! Those wonderful Church Bulletins! These sentences (with all the BLOOPERS) actually appeared in church bulletins or were announced in church services: • For those of you who have children and don’t know about it, we have a nursery downstairs. • Next Thursday there will be tryouts for the choir. They need all the help they can get. • Barbara remains in the hospital and needs blood donors for more transfusions. She is also having trouble sleeping and requests tapes of Pastor Jack’s sermons. • The rector will preach his farewell message after which the choir will sing “Break Forth Into Joy”.
