What Foods Make Us Feel Sleepy?

Late Dinners

Late dinners are sometimes inevitable after a busy day. But just as the right foods can cause drowsiness, the wrong ones can result in a poor night's sleep. This is mainly because acidic foods typically consumed at dinners such as meat and dairy can lead to nighttime acid reflux. The stomach takes between two to three hours to digest food. If food is consumed within two hours of going to bed, it will still be in the individual's stomach and could cause some gastroesophageal reflux. However, if dealing with acid reflux is common, food should not be consumed for a minimum of four hours before going to bed. If consuming food before bed cannot be avoided due to a busy schedule, it is recommended to eat non-acidic, or alkaline, foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, which will not cause symptoms that will disrupt sleep.
