If you have trouble getting 7 to 9 hours of uninterrupted sleep each night, here is a list of foods to avoid.

Caffeine Foods

Dark chocolate, soft drinks, and coffee all contain a high amount of caffeine, making it difficult to enter deeper stages of sleep.

Heavy Foods

Consuming foods that are unfamiliar to your digestive system can cause indigestion or bloating, keeping you awake until late.

Alcohol

Alcohol is well known for disrupting sleep. Not only that, it can also make waking up the next morning difficult.

Sugary Foods

While eating ice cream before bed may sound appealing, it may disrupt your sleep because it takes time to digest, causing you to stay up late.

Going to bed on an empty stomach may also interfere with your sleep, so it is best to drink a glass of warm milk before bed.
