Well eating anything with protein in it before bed can help you sleep by keeping you full at night and lowering the chances you'll wake up with a grumbling tummy. Yogurt could be particularly helpful because there is a lot of tryptophan in it, which makes you sleepy. It works along the same vein as drinking a warm glass of milk before bed. Good luck, and sweet dreams.

According to the Mayo Clinic, here are some examples of foods that can help ease you to sleep:
1 - That Thanksgiving turkey we all wolf down is famous for making us want to nap. The reason is that it is full of Tryptophan, an amino acid that your body converts to melatonin and serotonin, both of which induce sleep. Mom was right on the mark with that warm milk before bedtime. Dairy foods are another good source of trytophan as well as peanuts, bananas, oats and poultry.
2 - Mayo also recommends eating a light bedtime snack that is mostly carbohydrate with a small amount of protein, as that combination is thought to increase the availability of trytophan to your brain.

Here are some examples they give of beneficial bedtime eats:
(A) Small bowl of oatmeal with low-fat milk
(B) Granola sprinkled yogurt
(C) Crackers with peanut butter, cheese or a slice of turkey on top
(D) A sliced apple and 1 ounce of cheese

To be sure of good night
