A July 2026 study published in Frontiers in Nutrition investigated whether consuming almonds daily could help adults fall asleep sooner and enhance overall sleep quality.
The trial involving 175 adults aged 21 to 55 found that participants who consumed 60 grams of almonds fell asleep quicker and experienced reduced random wakefulness.
Researchers noted that almonds provide nutrients like magnesium, tryptophan, and small amounts of melatonin that naturally support normal nervous system and sleep-wake regulation.
