Oatmeal and Overnight Oats

Oatmeal is such a great bedtime snack because high tryptophan levels induce feelings of calm, and the melatonin in oats helps you stay asleep. To make things even better, oatmeal has high amounts of B6 and magnesium, making for a very soothing food. Add some flaxseed for omega-3s, and you've made yourself a bowl of calm. Try these oatmeal recipes or overnight oats.
