wake up in a panic<\/a> because of nightmares. If you must snack on chips, do so in the afternoon so that your body has enough time to digest them. <\/p>\n\n\n\nDried Fruit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Dried fruit is an excellent healthy snack to power you through the day, but it isn\u2019t a wise snack choice before bedtime. The high fiber content in dried fruit can rev up the digestive system in an uncomfortable way. While trying to go to sleep, you may experience painful gas and bloating. Plus, the high sugar content of dried fruit can lead to an unwanted sugar rush that can keep you up longer than you want. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A Late Night Cup Of Coffee<\/h2>\n\n\n\n This seems self-explanatory, but having a cup of coffee too close to bedtime can wreck your sleep. Oftentimes, a restful night of sleep is preceded by a specific routine, which varies from person to person. A cup of coffee is never in that pre-sleep routine, and if it is then it shouldn\u2019t be. Caffeine also hides in chocolates, soft drinks, energy drinks, tea, and other food sources besides coffee. So if you consume these items before bed, you are probably too alert to fall asleep. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Spicy Foods<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Sleep experts say that a spicy curry is one of the worst meals you can eat in the evening because it can ruin sleep. Eating spicy foods can increase the risk of heartburn and acid reflux, both of which interfere with sleep. The discomfort you feel when you lie down can be so intense that going to sleep is impossible. Capsaicin, the compound that exists in spicy foods like hot peppers, may be the culprit behind your sleep troubles. As you relax before bed, the body\u2019s core temperature starts to drop. Capsaicin can interfere with this process by raising your core temperature, leaving you feeling wide awake.<\/p>\n
