What Is Connect Between Pistachios And Good Sleep?

I have moderate sleep apnea and have been using CPAP for about two years with very limited success. I have recently noticed that eating pistachio nuts before bedtime have given more restful sleep and deep relaxing dreams. Any connection between pistachios and sleep? PS- I am still taking low doses of Ambien to get to sleep... Thanks!

Hello
Welcome here.
I do not think there is any scientific connection between pistachios and good sleep. It may be a placebo effect. However, if you are finding it good, you can continue with it.
Also, take ambien as prescribed.

Thanks.
