It's not exactly Ambien with chocolate swirls.
The first thing you should know about Nightfood, a new “sleep-friendly” ice cream, is that it’s a genius idea. That statement is true whether it actually works. But many people have trouble sleeping, and many people love eating ice cream, and the possibility of cookies-and-cream-flavored Ambien, even though that’s not exactly how the product functions, is going to be irresistible to insomniacs everywhere.
Yep, right in the taste buds. Nightfood’s ice creams come in flavors such as decaf cold brew, Bed and Breakfast , chocolate cherry and Cookies n’ Dreams. The ice creams do not contain melatonin or other sleep supplements, so they will not necessarily help you fall asleep. The point is they will not keep you awake, either: The ice cream is configured to include less of the stuff that can impede your digestion to cause disrupted sleep, like lactose, sugar and caffeine.
“They know no one is going to listen to this advice, so, might as well cater to them,” Dasgupta said. Sugary snacks “are the no-no foods you don’t want someone to eat [before bed]. If they’re going to eat it anyway, I’d rather they grab the nutritious one rather than the Twinkie or the cupcake.” I cannot say for sure whether it actually improved my sleep, though. Trendy adaptogenic foods — foods with natural compounds that promote certain physiological functions, such as healthier skin, less anxiety or improved concentration — are on the upswing, but it is hard to determine how well these products fulfill their claims. The placebo effect is strong. And while my sleep was not disrupted after eating Nightfood, it typically is not after eating other ice creams, anyway.
