Overview

• Pineapple’s acidity can trigger stomach irritation and reflux when eaten right before sleeping.
• Watermelon and melon’s high water content may prompt nighttime urination that fragments deep sleep.
• Avocado’s slow digestion and tyrosine can weigh on the stomach and hinder restful sleep.
• Sleep-promoting options such as pistachios, bananas and chicken breast boost melatonin or serotonin production without heavy digestion.
• Moderate portion sizes and consume sleep-disrupting foods several hours before bed to minimize night awakenings.
