Do You Suffer from Insomnia? Eat This!
The Foods That Can Make Your Night
Hi, I am Alex, a food scientist! I started writing online because there is a lot of misinformation out there. My mission is to give you the most scientifically accurate information. When it comes to snacks before bed, there are many opinions. That’s why I put together all the most relevant scientific studies on this topic.
Should you have a snack before bedtime?
Yes! Go for it! Just keep in mind the following rules!
According to the study “The Health Impact of Nighttime Eating: Old and New Perspectives” your snack should be:
- Less than 150 kcal
- Nutrient-dense
- Single foods rather than large mixed-meals
But … what to do if you cannot sleep?
As you have seen before, small snacks are ok before bed. But are there snacks that can also help you sleep better? Yes! After looking through scientific papers, I found ways to influence your sleeping patterns thanks to diet! I collected them in this small infographic.
