Do snacks marketed for sleep actually work?

What happened: Various snacks like chocolates, bars, gummies, and drinks claim to improve sleep quality, but the scientific evidence supporting these claims is limited and mixed.

Why it matters:

  • Consumers may spend money on products without proven benefits.
  • People seeking better sleep might overlook other effective methods.

MNN Take: While some ingredients in these snacks could have mild effects on sleep, more rigorous research is needed to confirm their effectiveness and safety.
