While a large meal right before bedtime - especially one involving the foods listed above - is not the best formula for peaceful sleep, it doesn’t mean that you have to fast after a certain hour in the evening.
Acidic Foods: Passing on highly acidic foods, such as tomato-based dishes, can improve sleep by minimizing causes of acid reflux, that heartburn feeling that especially tortures people when they are lying down.
Spicy foods: Replacing those late-night ghost pepper chips with something lower on the Scoville scale is another way of easing digestion and staying asleep.Heavy, fatty foods: That double bacon cheeseburger may not be worth the pleasure if your body ends up struggling to digest it as you sleep, causing you to wake up.“So if their typical bedtime is around 10 o’clock, we usually say, you know, by noon, one o’clock, that’s an ideal time to cut it out.” “The half-life of caffeine is about five to seven hours,” Drerup said. Dark chocolate: Due to its caffeine content, dark chocolate can disrupt deep sleep.“People may wake up after a few hours and have difficulty falling back asleep.” “We think of it as something that relaxes us, but it actually disrupts the way we go into different stages of sleep through the night and causes more un-restorative sleep,” she added. Alcohol: All “liquid bread” jokes aside, booze is admittedly not food but still makes the list, Drerup says, because it is “the absolute worst” for sleep.
