Keto Sleep Reset: How Fat Fuels Better Rest

Keto Chia Seed Sleep Pudding is a creamy, nighttime treat designed to calm your body and support deep, restful sleep. Made with chia seeds soaked in unsweetened almond milk, a dash of cinnamon and nutmeg, and a hint of vanilla, this pudding delivers a powerful dose of magnesium, fiber, and healthy fats. These ingredients help stabilize blood sugar, soothe digestion, and naturally boost melatonin production—making it the perfect keto-friendly bedtime snack to nourish your body while you sleep.

Why It Works: Keto Sleep Science

This pudding isn’t just a bedtime treat—it’s bio hacked for better sleep:
Chia Seeds
High in magnesium, ALA omega-3s, and tryptophan, which calm the nervous system and help the body relax.

Cinnamon & Nutmeg
Naturally warming and grounding spices that help reduce blood sugar spikes, reducing nighttime awakenings.

Vanilla Extract
Mildly sedative effects, triggers soothing scent-memory and stress reduction.

Almond Milk
Low-carb, magnesium-rich liquid base with calming properties.

Bonus Sleep Hacks
Enjoy 30–60 minutes before bed to allow slow-digesting chia fats to keep blood sugar steady overnight.
Pair with a magnesium glycinate supplement for deeper, longer REM sleep.
Avoid blue light for 1 hour before bed to allow melatonin production to naturally rise.

Perfect for:
Keto dieters managing nighttime hunger
Those seeking natural sleep aids
Intermittent fasters needing a clean, macro-friendly sleep snack
Anyone with gut or blood sugar instability affecting sleep
