We do not recommend coconut water as a treatment for insomnia. Having a mineral in a drink is not evidence that drinking it will make someone sleep better.
Look for evidence about the actual treatment
NCCIH identifies cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia as a strongly recommended approach and describes limited or inconsistent evidence for many complementary sleep approaches.
Keep a useful record
If sleep problems persist, note your sleep schedule and the drinks or supplements you use, then discuss them with a clinician. That is more useful than increasing a drink because of an unverified sleep claim.
An everyday beverage choice
