Every organ in human body follows a cycle to regain the damages. Liver mends itself during 01 AM to 03 AM for which it requires high amount of glycogen. Though liver stores glycogen for the night, it would have been used up by the time liver comes into action resulting in a search for the fuel and thus insomnia. Consuming raw honey before sleep ensures an additional supply of glycogen to the liver, smoothening its functions and hence a sound sleep.
