Eight Foods To Avoid Before Bedtime
According to nutritionists, there are some foods that will help your sleep but others that definitely interfere with a good night of shut-eye. Here’s a list of eight foods compiled by the folks at Food Network that you should avoid so that you don’t get interruptions, nightmares and stomach aches during the night.
- Pizza – cheesy toppings could lead to nightmares and the acid in the tomato sauce can cause a few trips to the bathroom in addition to a stomach ache, not to mention unwanted calories.
- Coffee – if caffeine affects you don’t consume any coffee within six hours of trying to sleep.
- Sugary Cereal – the sugar digests rapidly and the increase in blood sugar could mess with your sleep hormones and low-fiber foods are linked to lighter sleep.
- Spicy Foods – prone to irritate your stomach and increase heartburn during the night.
- Soda – a double whammy with possible caffeine and sugar in non-diet sodas and carbonation adds to more sleep issues.
- Wine – a glass of two might make you sleepy, but alcohol disrupts natural sleep patterns and you might need to get up to pee during the night if consuming it at bedtime.
- Orange Juice – the acidity can worsen heartburn or a sensitive bladder –it’s better to eat a whole piece of fruit because the carbohydrates can help you sleep and the fiber aids in slower sugar absorption.
- Burgers – your digestive tract is on overload with a heavy, fatty meal, and too much-saturated fat was linked to lighter sleep and more wakefulness in a recent study.
