If you are reading this at four in the morning, you aren't alone -- approximately half of all adults experience insomnia at some point in their lives. However, if you follow the Eliminate Insomnia Diet, your sheep-counting days may come to an end. Here's why:

• The carbohydrates in food help our bodies produce serotonin -- a sleep-inducing hormone. This meal plan incorporates plenty of healthy carbohydrate-rich foods like fruit, pasta, potatoes, oatmeal and brown rice.
• Milk contains tryptophan, an amino acid that promotes sleep. This diet includes skim milk with meals and as a before-bed snack.
• Digesting a big dinner can prevent you from resting comfortably. With that in mind, this meal plan promotes eating more for breakfast and lunch and less in the evening.

Start eating the breakfasts, lunches, dinners and snacks that will help you get more rest!
