If you’re struggling with chronic insomnia, relying on honey alone isn’t an evidence-based solution.
Persistent sleep problems deserve attention to other factors such as:
Caffeine
Alcohol
Stress
Screen use
Irregular sleep schedules
Pain
Sleep apnea
Medications
Depression or anxiety
Bedroom temperature and noise
Honey may be pleasant, but it shouldn’t distract from identifying the actual cause of chronic insomnia.
Honey and Sore Throats
Honey can also be useful when the throat feels irritated.
A small amount can provide a soothing coating sensation.
Some people prefer taking it directly from a spoon.
Others mix it into warm water or tea.
Warm liquids themselves can also be comforting, so combining the two can make a soothing bedtime drink.
You don’t need boiling-hot water.
Very hot liquids can be uncomfortable for an already irritated throat.
