Unlock the Untold Sleep Hacks: 45 Game-Changing Secrets the Experts Don’t Want You to Know!
13. Skip Spicy Foods in the Evening
Research shows that eating spicy foods close to bedtime can negatively affect sleep by raising core body temperature, which interferes with the body’s natural cooling process needed for sleep onset. Capsaicin, the compound responsible for heat in chili peppers, triggers thermogenesis, making it harder to fall asleep and leading to more nighttime awakenings. To avoid these effects, it’s best to enjoy spicy meals earlier in the day.
14. Limit Saturated Fats
High saturated fat consumption is associated with lighter, less restorative sleep and more nighttime awakenings. Focus your diet on heart-healthy unsaturated fats from nuts, seeds, avocados, and olive oil instead of the saturated fats found in processed foods and fried items.
