Sometimes it can be difficult to fall asleep, and certain foods and drinks can make the process of falling asleep even more difficult. Including alcoholic beverages, which are often praised for their supposed soporific properties, can actually interfere with your sleep.
According to doctors, if you want to have a healthy sleep, you need to give up some drinks.
Many people find that light alcoholic drinks before bed help them fall asleep. But despite the fact that alcohol can really help you relax in the evening and even help you fall asleep quickly, it does not allow you to sleep deeply and also makes you wake up frequently during the night due to dehydration and the need to use the toilet.
That is why doctors advise not to drink alcohol at least three hours before bedtime.
In addition, it is worth reducing the consumption of caffeine, because it can also prevent you from falling asleep and prevent quality sleep.
However, eliminating caffeine is more difficult than simply giving up coffee. It can also be found in other products.
They include:
- Tea;
- Some carbonated drinks;
- Chocolate drinks;
- Energy drinks;
- Some painkillers;
