What you eat directly impacts how you sleep. Science-based and easy to understand, Eat Better, Sleep Better includes 75 recipes that incorporate sleep-supporting ingredients that work with the body's rhythms and hormones to unlock quality rest—and the health benefits that come with it.
More than half of all Americans have difficulty falling or staying asleep. Drawing on the science that has made her the go-to expert on the connection between food and sleep, Dr. Marie-Pierre St-Onge pairs her comprehensive strategies for getting a good night's sleep with Kat Craddock's 75 recipes. Developed with ingredients that trigger the body's dietary melatonin and serotonin, these recipes align with a Mediterranean diet and trigger a healthy circadian cycle, so you feel energetic during the day and ready for sleep at night. Eat Better, Sleep Better is for anyone who wants food to be the medicine for getting quality sleep. Here, too, is a 28-day meal plan that takes the guess work out of what to eat when so you can start eating—and sleeping—better than ever.

      Nutrition scientist St-Onge, founder of Columbia University’s Center of Excellence for Sleep and Circadian Research, convincingly connects the dots between good food and good sleep, partnering with recipe developer Craddock to deliver meals designed to optimize one’s diet for better quality rest. Their approach calls for combining protein and complex carbohydrates throughout the day, along with micronutrients to “trigger the brain to synthesize two must-have sleep-supporting hormones: melatonin and serotonin.” After a deep dive into the science, the authors offer master lists of “sleep-supporting” ingredients (including clams and pumpkin seeds) and a four-week meal plan, followed by 75 recipes. The dishes leave room for flexibility: green spring gumbo calls for chicken andouille sausage but can easily be made vegan or pescatarian. Many have a Mediterranean vibe, including plentiful fish dishes (garlic shrimp, lemony baked trout) and two whole-grain pasta options. Breakfast options include overnight oats with ginger, dried fruit, and walnuts, and “sleep-better egg toast” with sautéed greens on high-fiber sunflower oat bread. The “Sweets for Sleep” section includes sesame shortbread cookies made with “tryptophan-rich tahini,” while the drinks chapter serves up a chamomile-ginger cordial. This well-researched and practical guide enlightens and empowers.

      Eating better leads to sleeping better according to St-Onge, nutritionist, Fulbright scholar, and founding director of Columbia University's Center for Sleep and Circadian Research. Teaming up with Saveur CEO and Editor in Chief Craddock, St-Onge has created a detailed, 28-day meal plan with the goal of giving those who subscribe to it more energy during the day and better sleep at night. In the first half of the book, St-Onge explains in layperson-accessible terms the science behind the sleep-food connection, delving into topics such as melatonin, serotonin, and tryptophan. The second half of the book is dedicated to the "Eat Better, Sleep Better" plan, with daily menu charts and 75 recipes whose main ingredients are sleep-improving, "functional" foods, such as almonds, barley, ginger, and lentils. Laid out in a clear and concise format, the recipes include everything from a trio of fruit compotes and a duo of salsas to focaccia with beefsteak tomatoes and olives, mushroom carbonara, and sesame shortbread cookies. VERDICT St-Onge and Craddock provide plenty of excellent food for thought for those looking to getter better z's at night.--John Charles
