Fall Asleep Fast By Avoiding These Foods At Night

For the sake of our overall good health and stamina, and in addition to improving our general well being, a good solid sleep is essential. While you maybe focusing on doing all the right things to fall asleep quickly: such as relaxation, meditation, and general wellness, you might be forgetting some of your less obvious habits such as snacking right before bedtime.

So, let's take a look at foods that we normally eat, but are unaware of the detrimental effect they maybe having on our ability to fall asleep and sleeping well. They may affect our sleep in various ways. For example: they may completely prevent us from falling asleep in the first place; they may allow us to fall asleep, but instead of having a nice and deep sleep, we may instead be having a very light sleep; or, as happens often, we wake up groggy and feeling tired.

The main groups to avoid are high caloric fatty foods, highly acidic foods and alcohol. High caloric fatty foods may make you sleepy temporarily, but once your buddy absorbs the excess blood sugar, you will be full of energy again. Highly acidic foods (that have a low pH value of 2 or 3) are tough on your buddy because they may irritate your intestines and cause excessive heartburn while your body is trying to rest. Alcohol, on the other hand, will easily keep you awake the whole night due to its toxicity and the body's drive to get rid of it.

The opposite is also not ideal. If you're starving and it's getting closer to your bedtime, then by all means have that snack you've been craving. Enjoy that small cup of milk, or your other favorite beverage. Or maybe make yourself that small sandwich you've been thinking about all day. There's absolutely no problems with having something small, but, whatever you do, don't go overboard.

Ideally, what you want to do is have about 3-6 small meals spaced evenly throughout your day, and have smaller meals as the night approaches. This is because as you start your day, your body requires more energy as opposed to when you're winding down your day just before bedtime. It doesn't make sense to eat a 1000-calorie meal 30 minutes before bedtime, does it? What will you be doing with such enormous amount of calories?

So, use common sense and stick to very limited and basic foods when trying to fall asleep.

Up All Night, Yawn All Day

Never underestimate the effects of snoring on one's life. Some might think that it is a problem that occurs only within the confines of one's bedroom at night, and it ceases to be a problem once he or she steps outside and faces the daily grind, so to speak. If you believe that, then I'm afraid you are only fooling yourself.

To put it bluntly, snoring affects one's productivity during the day, and it doesn't even matter if you are the snorer or simply had the misfortune to be sleeping in the same room or same bed with one. The most obvious and immediate effect of snoring is, naturally, sleep deprivation. Snorers tend to be heavy or deep sleepers, thus they hardly notice that they are snoring. However, in some cases, snorers are awakened frequently through the night by their own snoring - they simply do not stay awake long enough to realize it. Soon after, they fall right back to sleep. Unbeknownst to them, these interruptions are bound to take its toll on one's quality of sleep. Not to mention also the continual nudges or elbow pokes their sleeping partners give them when their snoring becomes too loud or irritating. It's just as inconvenient for the sleeping partner. Imagine losing sleep because the person beside you is sawing wood throughout the night.

As a result, you and your sleeping partner are likely to wake up cranky and, as we probably all know from experience, it is not a good way to start the day. Going to school or to work without having had enough sleep is bound to lead to one or two mishaps. Your concentration is shot and you'd be lucky if you won't find yourself dozing and nodding off in the middle of an important lecture in class. The danger factor is even higher when you are on the job and it requires the handling of major tools, equipment and machinery. You do not want to be feeling dazed when working with them.

Snoring can also take its toll on relationships. A breakfast table with sullen and cranky family members is not exactly a recipe for good familial relations. This trickles to the workplace where you would have to deal with colleagues, supervisors, subordinates, and even clients. Many clients, at the first sign of inattentiveness, would start doubting the wisdom of continuing working with you. If the snoring problem is not dealt with, you shouldn't be surprised if they decide to take their job - and their money - elsewhere. After all, who would want to work with someone who is, literally and figuratively, 'sleeping on the job'?

A snoring problem is not something you can simply leave in the comforts of your own room, to be ignored during the day. Its effects are too far-reaching to be ignored, creeping up behind you in the wide wakefulness of the day. You should face it head on and find ways to put a stop to it before its adverse effects cause even more damage.
