Cereal and milk
Cereal and milk can make a smart midnight snack. But try to take only half of the portion of your routine bowl. Cereal's calories and milk's calcium will help you feel full. Calcium in dairy products generally have minerals that play a direct role in the production of sleep hormones.
Yoghurt with berries or other fruits
It is already mentioned that dairy products are good in the production of the sleep hormone melatonin. In a bowl of plain yoghurt, add some berries like strawberry or blueberries, and if you don't like either of them you can take any fruit of your choice. Adding honey and finely chopped nuts will enhance the taste.
