Eating an egg or other protein before bed might help you sleep better

I read this article, it might help someone. I have not tried it enough but I do think I get a better night sleep when I do have an egg before bed.

Is a hard-boiled egg the best bedtime snack? Nick Bitz, ND, naturopathic doctor and chief scientific author at YouTheory, makes a strong case for eating an egg (boiled, poached, or sunny-side up) when the moon is high in the sky. Eating an egg as a source of protein before bed could help you sleep better, he says.

“I’ve found that if you eat a little bit of protein at night before you got to sleep—maybe about 6 grams of protein, which is the equivalent of an egg—it gives you a nice blood-sugar balance through most of the night,” said Dr. Bitz at the most recent Well+Good TALK in New York City. Women are particularly susceptible to glucose dysregulation, he explained. In response, the body produces cortisol (the stress hormone), which can wake you up.

Do you think plant-based protein works the same?

Yes, eating an egg before sleep can help improve sleeping quality. Egg contains vitamin D and melatonin which helps to get better sleep.
