Ice creams and high sugar
Eating a bowl of ice cream before bed may hit the spot, but it won’t make for the a good night’s sleep. Like fatty cheese, ice cream can take a while to digest and your body really isn’t able to rest well while you’re still working on digesting. Sugar can also cause your energy to spike, keeping you from easily falling asleep. That sugar and fat makes ice cream a sleep disruptor, rather than supporter.
Citric fruits and tomatoes
Tomatoes are good for your skin; it is sad that eating tomatoes them at night can have a negative impact on your sleep. This is mainly because of tyramine, which is a type of amino acid. This chemical increases the activity of your brain and delays sleep. No one ever said that citrus fruit can ever be unhealthy but due to the high vitamin C content, it is not ideal as bedtime food as it may cause acidity and heartburn if not digested properly. It will not only disturb your sleep cycle but also spoil the next day with all the burning sensations.
Alcohol
While you might think you're getting drowsy after that glass of wine, drinking alcohol right before bed can affect quality of sleep. Alcohol might be soothing before bed, but is actually very disruptive for your sleep cycle and causes negative effects on rapid eye movement. You may fall asleep faster after a glass of wine, but you're probably gonna wake up tomorrow still feeling pretty tired.
Caffeinated drinks and chocolate
We all know why high caffeine drinks should be avoided before bed as it can lead to sleeplessness but the same goes for chocolate. Chocolate also has caffeine in it and is a sneaky one before bedtime because along with caffeine it also has an amino acid that makes you alert. Chocolate can be a good energy booster in the afternoon but it is not a good energy booster at night.
