Okay, you’ve heard that if you drink warm milk it will help you go to sleep, this is true because milk contains tryptophan which is a sleep inducing substance;other sleep inducing foods include poultry, bananas, oats, and honey.

Struggling with insomnia? Put a little food in your stomach but remember this is not a license to pig-out! Eat a small snack otherwise overeating will cause your stomach to overwork and this may cause discomfort which might lead to more lack of sleep.

Step away from the burgers and fries as consuming more fat during the day has been shown to affect how well you catch your zzz’s.

Be aware about the less obvious caffeine sources, like chocolate, cola, tea and decaffeinated coffee. For better sleep, cut all caffeine from your diet after noon each day.

Prescription and nonprescription drugs may contain caffeine, too; pain relievers, weight loss pills, diuretics, and cold medicines are some examples to mention but a few. The smart thing to do is to check the labels containing the drug information sheet to see if your medicine interferes with sleep or can cause insomnia. Some medicines can contain as much or even more caffeine than a cup of coffee.

Limit alcohol at night even though it might make you fall asleep faster it may cause frequent awakenings and less restful nights, make sure you drink an equal amount of water to lessen the alcohols effects.

Wait a few hours before you go to bed especially after eating a big dinner, lessen highly spicy foods as this might cause heartburn stealing your slumber away!

A high protein snack before bedtime is probably not a good idea because its harder to digest opt for some glass of milk or a banana instead.

Consuming the right amounts of fluids during the day is very important but cut them off in the evening as bathroom runs will affect your sleep.

Don’t smoke before you go to bed or if you wake up at night as nicotine is a stimulant that has the same effects as caffeine.
