If you’ve been tossing and turning at night, struggling to fall (or stay) asleep—you're not alone. But before you reach for sleep aids or another cup of coffee the next morning, consider this surprising sleep solution: kiwi.
Yes, we’re talking about that small, fuzzy fruit with a vibrant green center. A study published in the Asia Pacific Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that eating two kiwis one hour before bedtime for four weeks led to:
-
47% less time spent awake during the night
-
27% fewer nighttime awakenings
-
Almost one extra hour of total sleep
-
A 93% improvement in overall sleep efficiency
-
Less fatigue and more energy upon waking
So what makes kiwi such a sleep superstar?
Kiwis are rich in antioxidants, natural serotonin, and fiber—all of which support hormonal balance, digestive health, and relaxation, key ingredients for restful sleep.
💡 Tip for best results: Eat the whole kiwi—skin and all! The fuzzy peel is edible and loaded with extra fiber and antioxidants that support digestion and reduce inflammation.
If you're looking for a natural, delicious, and nutrient-packed bedtime snack, kiwi might be just what your sleep routine has been missing.
