Sorry to disappoint all TikTok fans, but there is little evidence to suggest that lettuce tea will help you fall asleep. The only “science” behind this trend comes from a South Korean study that examined the effects of lettuce on rats. Although this research showed promising results, the scientists used incredibly high concentrations of lettuce extract. In addition, there is still no evidence that these sedative effects work in humans.
On the plus side, researchers believe that lettuce and lactucopicrin lettuce compounds have potential sedative properties. Although these chemicals are found in romaine lettuce, it won’t be enough to make you fall into a few leaves. We will have to wait for more research on lettuce seed extract to determine how to use this plant for sleep health.
With all this in mind, there are no adverse risks associated with trying a glass of Roman lettuce tea. Whenever you wash the romaine leaves (and have a good gag reflex), feel free to try this trendy drink.

The jury still does not know if Roman lettuce has important sedative properties. However, there are science-backed strategies that can help you overcome insomnia.
To get started, you need to turn off all screens a few hours before bedtime. While we are still learning about the effects of blue light, most research suggests that excessive exposure to these screens can alter our circadian rhythm. So instead of staring at your smartphone late in the day, take out a book or take a hot bath.
We also recommend that you want to snack on kiwis or cherries just before bedtime. Both fruits are full of nutrients that seem to help promote a restful night’s sleep. In fact, one study found that people who ate about two kiwis an hour before bedtime had better sleep quality than those who did not. There is also evidence to suggest that cherries have natural traces of the sleep hormone melatonin.
