Cinnamon Night Tea for Better Sleep & Digestion

Description

A soothing, naturally caffeine-free cinnamon tea designed to relax the body, support digestion, reduce nighttime bloating, and help stabilize blood sugar — all of which can improve sleep quality and reduce late-night cravings.

This is not a sedative, but many people report deeper, more consistent sleep when taken 30–60 minutes before bed.

 Ingredients (1 serving)

  • 1 cup (240 ml) water

  • 1 small Ceylon cinnamon stick or ½ teaspoon ground Ceylon cinnamon

  • Optional:

    • 1 teaspoon raw honey (after steeping)

    • A pinch of ginger or turmeric (digestive boost)

Use Ceylon cinnamon, not cassia, if drinking regularly.

 Instructions

  1. Bring water to a gentle boil

  2. Add cinnamon (stick or powder)

  3. Simmer for 10 minutes

  4. Remove from heat and strain (if needed)

  5. Let cool slightly, then add honey if desired

  6. Drink warm, 30–60 minutes before bedtime

  • If using powder, stir well before drinking

Servings

  • 1 cup = 1 serving

 Q & A

 Will this really make me sleep 8 hours straight?

It can help improve sleep quality, but it’s not a sleeping pill. Results depend on stress, diet, screen use, and consistency.

 Does it burn fat while I sleep?

 It supports fat metabolism by stabilizing blood sugar — but no drink melts fat on its own. Think helper, not miracle.

 Can I drink this every night?

 Yes — if using Ceylon cinnamon. Cassia cinnamon daily is not recommended long-term.

 Can I add milk?

Yes! Turn it into a cinnamon milk (golden-style) drink with warm almond or oat milk for extra relaxation.

 Who should avoid this?

  • Pregnant people (daily use)

  • Those with liver conditions
