What You Eat May Affect Your Sleeping Quality
The time of sleep takes up about one third of our lifetime.
However, in modern society, more and more people begin to complain that they can't sleep well.
There are a lot of reasons accounting for poor sleeping quality, such as the rapid rhythm of life, high pressure at work, some diseases, and so on.
However, people tend to ignore one important factor-what you eat at dinner will influence your sleeping quality.
Following is the food which will make you difficult to get to asleep.
Firstly, food which will make your brain excited.
Such food includes coffee, strong tea, coke cola, and other beverage or food which contains caffeine or theophylline.
It is well known that caffeine can make us refreshed.
What's more, caffeine has the effect of diuresis.
So drinking too much coffee will increase the urination frequency, which will interfere with your sleep.
Secondly, food which will stimulate the gastrointestinal tract or cause abdominal flatulence, like spicy food, onion, carbonated beverage, and so on.
Eating too much these food will make you feel uncomfortable in digestive tract, and it will be difficult for you to fall asleep.
Thirdly, wine.
A little wine may make you easy to get to sleep in short time.
However, if you keep this habit for a long period, you will be addicted to wine and highly rely on it.
Day by day, you need to drink more and more wine to help you get to sleep; otherwise, it will be even more difficult for you to fall asleep.

And the food should be bland and simple, with adequate protein, rather than some rich food such as fish or meat.
As fat is very difficult to digest, if you eat too much fat food at dinner, it often needs more than four hours to digest.

Drinking a glass of hot sweet milk half an hour before sleep For a long time, hot milk has been considered helpful to sleep.
A glass of hot milk can promote the absorption of tryptophan.
And if you add in some sugar, the tryptophan can pass through the blood-brain barrier, and transmit to the brain a signal to relax and sleep.
Therefore, the hot sweet milk is called as "effective hypnotic agent".
Experts suggest that the best time to drink hot sweet milk is half an hour before sleep.
In a word, if we pay more attention to our dinner diet and eat proper food before going to sleep, there must be some improvement in our sleeping quality.
