What Can You Eat Late At Night or Before You Go To Bed When You Can't Sleep?
Copyright (c) 1994-1999 Wayne Pickering
   

This is a common question.
In my experience and schooling, our digestive systems are weakest at that time. But if you can't sleep because of a huge contract pending, or maybe an all-day seminar coming up in the morning and the sound system hasn't as yet arrived, or just about anything you're thinking of that won't allow you to sleep ... You think, "Well, let me get something to eat so I can fall asleep!" The energy it takes to digest food will actually keep your body working most of the night, and chances are you're going to wake up not feeling too chipper.

Here's what I found really works for me and all my clients who put this into practice. I always have some room temperature distilled water in my room. As we've talked about in some of the other articles, I may make a little herbal tea. There are some teas you can buy at your local health food store that doesn't require hot water to make them.

I always have my overnight bag packed 365 days a year, so I just add a few extra things like those teas, etc. I'll sip on that while I read one of my favorite books that's not business related to help relax my mind.

You may try this or that, but this has really worked for me, but eating before going to bed isn't really a good idea. However, if you are going to eat something anyway, try a banana or 2. And try not to eat the real juicy fruit, as you'll be up all night going to the bathroom instead of sleeping.

Something else I've tried over the years that works best for me is if there's something that is really bothering me and I can't get it off my mind... I have a note pad beside my bed and I write it down and repeat it to myself when the thought starts to interfere with my falling asleep again. I say to myself, "Wayne, it's on paper and there's nothing you can do about it right now anyway. So ... GOOOOOOO TO SLEEEEEEP!" All the while I'm drawing in 10 deep breaths ever so slowly and within no time, I'm asleep
