The struggle with insomnia, the missing hours of sleep, its quality are often discussed by experts.
If you're ready for beauty sleep, then you should also be ready for the viral TikTok hashtag #PineappleHacks, which has over 3.7 million views. It seems that a little pineapple is enough for a good and restful sleep.
"Pineapple is one of the foods that has a reasonable level of natural melatonin," said sleep therapist Dave Gibson.
Melatonin is a hormone produced by the brain in response to darkness and it helps regulate a person's circadian rhythms within 24 hours.
The therapist says that the melatonin found in pineapples can be released into a person's bloodstream, prompting regulation of the internal clock of the sleep-wake cycle.
In a number of viral posts under the hashtag #PineappleHacks, parents are seen giving their children a slice of pineapple before bed.
"Eat pineapple before bed if you have trouble sleeping," wrote nutritionist Emma Leigh. "Pineapple increases melatonin in the body by 240%, so consuming it before bed helps you fall asleep faster and sleep more deeply."
