1. Caffeinated Drinks and Chocolate
Caffeine is a stimulant that keeps the brain alert, making it harder to fall asleep. Coffee, tea, energy drinks, and even chocolate contain caffeine, which can interfere with sleep quality. Dark chocolate, in particular, has a higher caffeine content and carcinogenic. Studies have shown that high levels of acrylamide exposure can increase the risk of cancers, particularly in the digestive system.
Plain popcorn is a tasty, healthy snack – but you could have trouble sleeping if you add any flavourings to your freshly popped corn. Whether you like it sweet, salty or buttery, flavouring your popcorn usually involves adding extra fat, sugar and salt, all of which can cause problems. Spiked blood sugar, dehydration and stomach discomfort are among the issues you could face.
3.Citrus fruits
Whether you struggle with acid reflux or not, avoiding citrus fruits before your nightly slumber is recommended due to their intense levels of acidity. Fruits including oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruits and tangerines may be high in vitamin C, but they aren’t the easiest foods to digest – and they have the potential to cause indigestion and heartburn. Reserve these fruits for an energising, nutrient-packed breakfast instead.
4.Tomato-based products
If you suffer from acid reflux, you’ll already be aware of the side effects tomatoes can cause – but these highly acidic fruits can also cause issues like heartburn and indigestion, which worsen when we’re lying down. This goes for non-fresh tomato products, too; before bed, you’re best off avoiding tomato-based sauces, stews, soups, juices and (sadly) pizza. While tomatoes do contain melatonin, a natural sleep-enhancing hormone, it’s best to avoid them for at least three hours before heading to sleep if you have issues with acid reflux or indigestion.
It’s no secret that fizzy drinks usually come loaded with sugar, sweeteners and caffeine – and little else. All of your favourites, from Coca-Cola and Pepsi to Dr Pepper and Mountain Dew, could be causing you to stay awake until the early hours, leaving you feeling groggy (and needing a further sugar and caffeine boost) the next morning. It’s best to avoid fizzy drinks after 4pm, as it can take up to six hours for the caffeine they contain to leave the body.
Eating foods that are high in fats, from deep-fried dishes to processed snacks, is likely to lead to a bad night’s sleep. These foods can have a number of negative effects on our bodies, including causing acid reflux, spiking blood sugar levels and prompting digestive problems. The occasional indulgence is fine, but reducing your overall intake could result in a more peaceful slumber.
The clue is in the name here. Packed with sugars, sweeteners and caffeine, energy drinks are among the worst liquids to consume before bedtime. While they can be useful in providing a boost when you’re low on energy, they can have a negative effect on sleep if drunk too late in the day. Besides being stacked with sugars, many energy drinks also contain high levels of caffeine, which can take up to six hours to leave the body.
