Meadows Coffeehouse
Hilltoppers, do you struggle to get enough sleep? 😴
The loss of even a small amount of sleep can lead to reduced alertness, impaired memory, and moodiness and can even add up to bigger health problems over time like high blood pressure and depression.
Here are 7 eating tips to help you get a better night`s rest:
1️⃣ Fuel throughout the day by having balanced meals (and snacks) every 3-5 hours (or when your body is signaling that you are hungry!).
2️⃣ You might disrupt sleep if you have too much fat or protein before bed. Fats and proteins take longer to digest, so have more reasonable portions for your late-night snacks.
3️⃣ Choose power combos for evening snacks. Choose a carb/protein combo like nut butter toast to increase uptake of tryptophan, the sleep-induced amino acid.
4️⃣ Know your caffeine "clock". Caffeine is a stimulant that takes an average of 5 hours to fully metabolize, but the range varies from 1.5 to 9-plus hours!
5️⃣ Avoid using alcohol as a sleep aid. Although alcohol might help you fall asleep faster, it also may prevent you from reaching deeper parts of the sleep cycle.
6️⃣ Spicy and acidic foods can cause heartburn, acid reflux, and increased body temperature, thus stealing sleep. Pay attention to your body`s cues and adjust accordingly.
7️⃣ Add foods that can help you sleep naturally. From almonds and walnuts to kiwis and raspberries, there are many foods that are natural sources of melatonin, a hormone that helps regulate the sleep and wake cycle.
