FOODS TO AVOID FOR BETTER SLEEP TONIGHT

by - CHERYL LYTHGOE - Matron at Benenden Hospital Trust UK






AVOID TAKING FOLLOWING FOODS AT NIGHT FOR BETTER SLEEP - 

1st CHOCOLATE



Chocolate has a high caffeine content, which can cause rapid eye movement more frequently during latter stages of sleep, leading to the grogginess feel in the morning.


2nd CHEESE



Aged cheese contain high level of amino acid tyramine. This causes our bodies to release 'fight or flight' hormone which increases alertness for number of hours.


3rd CURRY (SPICY FOODS)



Spicy foods like curries, hot sauces & mustard contain high level of capsaicin which elevates body temperature interfering with thermoregulation process & disrupting sleep.


4th ICE CREAM (HIGH SUGAR FOOD)



Food having high-sugar like ice cream, fizzy drinks & sweets, lead to high blood sugar level at first, then crashing during sleep, this makes your body believe there is emergency & wakes you from sleep.


5th CRISPS (HIGH SALT FOOD)



Crisps & salted nuts dehydrate the body & increase water retention, causing tiredness & fatigue. Staying away from salty foods for 2-3 hours before bed increases the chance of a good night's sleep.
