Insomnia affects roughly one in three people, while most adults struggle to get a full eight hours every night. The reason for our restless nights could be the foods and drinks we're having just before we go to bed, according to a sleep expert. Sammy Margo, author of The Good Sleep Guide, has revealed the five surprising foods we should always snack on before we try to fall asleep. A recent survey by Simba Sleep found that the average adult manages just 6 hours and 28 minutes of sleep a night, and misses out on 6 hours and 10 minutes of sleep each week. Just 11 per cent of Brits have tried modifying their diet to see how it improves their quality of sleep, according to the recent study.
