Stress is one of the biggest obstacles to a good night’s sleep. Racing thoughts, tension, and anxiety can make it hard to fall asleep and stay asleep. Luckily, there are natural drinks that help reduce stress, calm the mind, and improve sleep quality.
How Stress Interferes With Sleep
When your body is stressed, cortisol levels rise, making it difficult to relax. This can lead to:
- Difficulty falling asleep
- Tossing and turning at night
- Poor sleep quality
“Reducing stress before bed is crucial for falling asleep quickly and staying asleep,” says Dr. Emily Foster, Sleep Specialist.
Even small adjustments in your nighttime routine, including what you drink, can have a big impact on sleep quality.
Drinks That Help Reduce Stress and Promote Sleep
Herbal Teas
Chamomile, passionflower, and lavender teas are renowned for their calming effects and can signal to your body that it’s time to unwind.

Magnesium glycinate relaxes muscles and the nervous system, helping your body transition into a state of calm.
