According to http://www.webmd.com , a recent study in the Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture performed in Italy, showed that grapes contain melatonin. Melatonin is a natural sleep hormone.
The human brain makes melatonin to regulate cycles of sleep and wakefulness. Melatonin levels risk in the evening as a cue for sleep but wane as morning approaches. In many grapes tested, melatonin was found including Nebbiolo, Croatina, Sangiovese, Merlot, Marzemino, Cabernat Franc, Cabernat Sauvignon and Barbera.
Hmmm….Grapes. Wine. Sleep. Sounds relaxing.
