Insomnia

-

If steamy nights have you tossing and turning, your cure is a delicious one: masala chai. Scientists at UCLA say sipping 8 oz. of this sweet, aromatic Ayurvedic tea (hot or iced) at bedtime can help you feel sleepy within 20 minutes since its unique blend of ginger, vanilla and cinnamon prods the brain to produce calming theta waves. One to try: Blue Lotus Traditiona­l Masala Chai ($17 for 100 servings, Amazon.com).
