In humans, the brain's pituitary gland produces melatonin to help regulate the sleep and biological wake cycles. Melatonin levels always increase in the evening as a signal that it's time to go to bed.

Scientists have tested 8 grape extracts and found in this succulent fruit a significant amount of melatonin. Thereby, they concluded that when you drink a glass of 200ml grape juice / or eat a bunch of 300gr grapes half an hour before bed, you will feel sleepy and sleep will come easier. Wine also gives the same results.

The content of melatonin in grapes will be transferred to the brain and here, the brain will direct the parts of the body to enter the resting phase.
