A warm cup can be nice at night.
Bone broth can be one of those cups.
It is food, not a fix for bad sleep.
Can you have bone broth before bed?
Yes.
A small cup is fine for most people.
The best test is how it feels for you.
A big cup late at night may wake you up for the loo.
A hot, rich or spicy cup may not suit you at night.
If you need to watch your salt, read the label first.
Will it help you sleep?
We do not know if bone broth helps you sleep.
Some talk of glycine and sleep.
Those tests use a set dose of glycine.
They do not test bone broth.
So do not see broth as a sleep aid.
See it as a warm drink that may fit your night.
If sleep is a big or long-term problem, speak to a health pro.
How to try it
Keep it plain at first.
Make one small cup.
Use the serve size on the pack.
Mix it with warm water.
Have it an hour or so before bed.
Then keep the rest of your night the same.
Try that for a few nights.
You can then tell if it suits you.
