Can Drinking Tart Cherry Juice Before Bed Really Help You Sleep Better?

, and keeping your phone out of bed can all help you snooze a little better, for example. There’s also plenty of chatter about “sleep-promoting” foods (think Thanksgiving turkey), but the science behind this concept is a bit slimmer.

Yet  that tart cherry juice is helping them fall asleep. In , which has more than 197,000 likes and stirred up lots of reactions, user @missalanablack talked about her struggles with sleep.

She saw another user post a video about drinking tart cherry juice before bed, so she gave it a try. “Why didn’t I know about cherry juice earlier?” she said in the video. “I have taken so many supplements to help me go to sleep, help me stay asleep…all I needed was some cherry juice?” She noted that she was “done” 15 minutes after having a cup of the juice, adding, “I didn’t wake up once through the night.” TikTok user @hymtherapper also decided to test the tart cherry juice tip in an older video, but he drank it in the middle of the day. —in which he was clearly surprised by the tartness of the juice—he said he felt drowsy 15 minutes after drinking a cup of it. “I’m just now waking up,” he shared in a follow-up clip that noted he slept for six hours. “I’m just letting you all know right now, the juice worked.

The juice worked.”Of course, any health claims on TikTok should be taken with a grain of salt, but people seem to swear by this stuff.
