Reading this article, I found that I do in deed tend to eat these kinds of foods at night.
Tossing and turning--reminds you of a song Right? Not very great when it happens to one at night. Maybe food is the culprit.
Caffeine..of course we all know this but remember it is a stimulant.
Aged cheese..my favorite but stay away from basicly all the yummy smelly ones. It seems to be the high level of something called acid tyramine that is known to keep one up.
Spicy foods.. Hot tamale, spicy wings are not going to do your stomach or you sleep habits any good. eat these things earlier in the day.
Processed or smoked meats... Leave these at the deli counter. They also contain high levels of tyramine which seems to release a chemical that makes us alert which we do not want to feel late at night.
Another AH HAH for me Alcohol. People seem to think that alcohol is a depressant, which is not true. It does not really make a person relax and it prevents your body from entering into the deep stage of sleep which leaves you not very well rested.
Milk chocolate..is a stimulant which could keep you restless and awake.
Gingseng tea...another surprise. This tea can also be a stimulant which could cause insomnia and hypertension.
Along with me, try to cut some these out at night and see what happens.
