For all those of you suffering from insomnia
, drinking a glass of cherry juice twice a day may be just what you need for a good night’s sleep, according to latest study!
The researchers at the University of Rochester, New York, found that having a glass of unsweetened cherry juice in the morning and evening regularly, helped people enjoy better sleep.
The study lead, Psychiatrist Dr. Wilfre Pigeon, said that the effect of cherry juice is largely due to the presence of high content of melatonin in the fruit, the hormone which regulates the body’s sleep-wake cycle.
The researchers arrived at this conclusion after analyzing sleep patterns of participants in two phases. During the first phases, the volunteers were given cherry juice both morning and evening, and in the second phase they were given a comparable fruit juice.
Curing insomnia is one of the biggest health challenges of modern age. About one in four adults suffer from insomnia and sleep less than five hours every night.
“Considering the side-effects of certain medications, it is encouraging to have a natural alternative,” Pigeon said.
The results of the findings are published in the Journal of Medicinal Food.
Cherry juice! That is awesome. Of all things cherry juice would have never came to my mind for helping with insomnia. Thank you. I know some folks who take medication for it. I’ll let them know about this. I used to have a hard time sleeping, which is one of the reasons I got into Yoga. It has helped me greatly.
Thank you.

Insomnia for me is caused by arthritic pain both in my lower back and between the shoulders. I don’t know how it works, but it does. I find it works better with a C-PAP machine. Without a C-PAP machine, early awakening happens a lot, with Ambien. With the C-PAP machine, I can sleep more than 8 hours. But no matter how long I sleep, once awakened, my pain is all encompassing. I drizzle out of bed, eat breakfast and go laydown with a trusty thermophore for 2 to three hours before I can walk without “all encompassing” pain.
