PMR Anyone?

Good Morning John,
Something I have noticed in the last few days, that I thought might be helpful for some people. The last few nights I have slept exceptionally well, waking up bright and cheery. I've examined behavior of previous days. Each day after my evening dinner I have eaten a piece of dark chocolate that is at least 72% pure. When I looked online found that this can be a sleep aid. Of course it is also very beneficial in many ways including as an antioxidant. I have a LINDT chocolate bar, wafer thin, break of a piece that is about 1" by 2". The bar is 72% pure. This may not be the help I have received in sleeping, but I intend to continue doing it. 🙂

Maggie.

Good morning Maggie @noosat1, Dark chocolate is one of my favorite treats so that's good news (except for the sugar part). Even though it has caffeine in it, dark chocolate also contains serotonin which can help you relax according to sleep.org.

Hi Maggie, dark chocolate sounds great! Have you tried a higher percentage? Just checking as 72% is a tad bitter...but it’s still chocolate!
