Having Sleepless nights? It may be linked to what you ate in the day.

If you are having sleeping trouble, there are 5 foods that are advised not to be eaten before going to sleep.




Canned and smoked meats:

A favorite meal for many people, a sandwich of smoked meat, sausage, or sliced meat. Smoked meats have high levels of amino acid tyramine, which causes the brain to release norepinephrine, which alerts the brain and makes us to be vigilant and stir.





Chocolate:

Do you love it? Be careful in the evening. Many people have excessive sensitivity against caffeine, especially at older ages, and even the smallest piece of chocolate or ice cream can prevent them from sleeping at night. Chocolate contains tyrosine, which is tonic amino acid.



Energy drinks:

Energy drinks like Red Bull are very rich with caffeine in addition to the amino acid taurine, which increase alertness and adrenaline. Recent studies have shown that, even if they dealt with energy drinks early in the day, the high-dose common for taurine and caffeine can make sleep difficult.



Tomato sauce, chili, pizza, spicy foods:

Digestive disorder is a common source of sleep problems, but many people fail to discover the link. Acidic and spicy foods can cause the heartburn and other symptoms that cause sleeping problems.



Alcohol:
Drinking alcohol can increase the feeling of relaxation, but will return later in the night to cause insomnia. Because alcohol causes dehydration, this will make you wake up to urinate more, which means disturbance all over the duration of sleep. Wine also contains a catalyst.
