Tart cherries - especially the Montmorency variety, are a very good food source of melatonin. Melatonin is a hormone produced in the pineal gland of the brain that helps regulate your sleep cycles. Drinking this tasty beverage before going to bed will help boost your melatonin level and will thereby help condition your body to more easily fall asleep.
