Eating Heavy / Sugary Foods

It is important to eat at least 3 – 4 hours before bedtime. Many say they wake up hungry this way and snacking just before bed helps them sleep longer. That’s not how it works. Eating anything for that matter means, your stomach should do its work. If it is heavy, like a pizza, your stomach will go on frenzy trying to digest it. Sugary foods tend to increase blood sugar and give an energy boost. These things will mean one thing – your body is relaxed and is probably active. How can you sleep then?

Exercise
Exercising is a good thing and when done once you get up, gives you’re the energy boost required and keeps you fresh all day. On the other hand, if you do it at night, you are going to trigger adrenalin rush and release of other “feel good” hormones. By doing this, the energy level will hit a high and you can’t sleep.
