Honey contains natural sugars, such as fructose and glucose, which provide a quick energy boost without causing a sugar crash later on.

2. The Science Behind Honey's Effect on Sleep

It is beneficial to eat honey before bed because it has a high glycemic index (GI), which means it quickly raises blood sugar levels. A rise in blood sugar causes insulin to be released, causing tryptophan to be absorbed into the brain where it is converted into serotonin, a neurotransmitter that promotes relaxation and improves sleep.
