What we eat affects our sleep quality and quantity, and there are certain foods that not only disrupt sleep but may also lead to nightmares and sleep disorders. Here are some such foods you should avoid.
Caffeine is a stimulant that can keep you awake and make it difficult to fall asleep.
While alcohol can initially make you feel drowsy, it can disrupt the quality of your sleep.
Spicy foods can cause indigestion, heartburn, or acid reflux, all of which can disturb sleep.
Foods that are high in fat can take longer to digest, which can lead to discomfort and indigestion.
Eating large or heavy meals close to bedtime can overstimulate your digestive system and cause discomfort.
Foods that are high in sugar can cause fluctuations in blood sugar levels which can disrupt sleep patterns.
Foods that are greasy or fried can be harder to digest and may cause discomfort, bloating, or heartburn.
