Half a banana and a speck of nutmeg
A ripe banana is ordinary food. The nutmeg on it must stay a speck, barely visible on the mash. That tiny amount is the whole spice in this habit. More nutmeg is not a stronger bedtime snack, and it is not safe to experiment with larger pinches.
Do not give this to children. Do not use it in pregnancy. If sleep has been poor for a long time, a speck of spice is not the care you need. Speak to a doctor.
