'Almost everything that we consume, whether drugs or nutrients, can affect brain function, the quality of our sleep, and daytime cognitive function.' Here's how.
What you eat before bedtime might improve your chances of getting a good night’s sleep—and recent research suggests that eating something sweet might help induce drowsiness. Elevated blood sugar levels have been shown to increase the activity of neurons that promote sleep. One recent study showed that sleep onset latency, the time it takes to fall asleep, was significantly reduced after the consumption of high-glycemic-index meals four hours before bedtime.
