Also known as garbanzo beans, chickpeas are rich in the amino acid tryptophan which is key for producing melatonin, a hormone that plays a role in the sleep-wake cycle. Chickpeas are also rich in vitamin B6, a nutrient that is essential for the production of serotonin. Serotonin is key in supporting sleep as well.
Instead of snacking on potato chips, offer your kiddos some roasted chickpea snacks, and keep your fingers crossed for an awesome night's sleep later on.
