cherry tart juice for insomnia
New Study Suggests Tart Cherry Juice Can Be a Natural Solution for Insomnia
Drinking tart cherry juice daily could help reduce the severity of insomnia and time spent awake after going to sleep, according to a new study published in the Journal of Medicinal Food.
A team of University of Pennsylvania, University of Rochester, and VA Center of Canandaigua researchers conducted a pilot study on the sleep habits of 15 older adults. The adults drank 8 ounces of tart cherry juice beverage in the morning and evening for 2 weeks, and a comparable matched juice drink, with no tart cherry juice, for another 2-week period. There were significant reductions in reported insomnia severity and the adults saved about 17 minutes of wake time after going to sleep, on average, when drinking cherry juice daily, compared to when they were drinking the juice drink.
The researchers suspect tart cherries' natural benefits could be due in part to their relatively high content of melatonin—a natural antioxidant in cherries with established ability to help moderate the body's sleep-wake cycle. Produced naturally by the body in small amounts, melatonin plays a role in inducing sleepiness at night and wakefulness during the day.

99, I don't recall ever seeing cherry juice, but I haven't looked for it. I wonder if eating tart cherries would confer the same benefits?

How do these studies get started and funded? Does someone just say one day, "Let's have them drink 8 ounces of tart cherry juice twice per day and check if they sleep better."???
Must not work on birds. When our cherries are ripe, the mockingbirds, catbirds and robins are up before the crack of dawn gorging themselves and continue until the last ray of light is gone.
