Vitamins and minerals are essential to health and sleep. Eating a well balanced diet can help you get many vitamins but some vitamins simply need to be taken as a supplement. Vitamins should not replace food. Sleep vitamins are vitamins that facilitate sleep. These vitamins help the body make hormones and neurotransmitters vital to sleep. Without vitamins the body will not make melatonin or serotonin. Melatonin and Serotonin are naturally occurring sleep inducers. When you eat meat, think turkey, the body breaks the turkey down into amino acids. These amino acids are used to make neurotransmitters and hormones that help usher in sleep. Turkey provides tryptophan and the vitamins help the body use the tryptophan to make melatonin and serotonin. These are your natural sleep inducers. Vegetarians and vegans can get tryptophan from nuts, tofu, beans and dairy.The vitamins needed for better sleep are Vitamin B6, B12 and Vitamin D. Scientist do not know how vitamin D helps sleep but people with vitamin D deficiency develop insomnia that resolves with the vitamin D deficiency is corrected. Avoid taking large amounts of these vitamins because they can be toxic in large doses.
