The Sleep Charity has released its top five tips for how to get better quality sleep in 2024, with doing something fruity shortly before bed topping the list.
It says using a banana before bedtime can help you drift off due to their high level of magnesium and potassium, which help to relax muscles.
Other fruity techniques to help you sleep include:
- asking Beulah to peel you a grape (recommended by a Ms Mae West from Brooklyn, New York)
- tipping the kiwi velvet using a technique known as 'scissoring' favoured by the Australian Girls Out West website
- squeezing lemons until the juice turns down your leg (recommended by a Mr Robert Plant of West Bromwich, England)
These and other fruity techniques will be promoted by the Fruit Advisory Board (FAB) as part of their Christmas marketing campaign to get more people using more fruit in more innovative ways.
