Maintain a healthy diet to support good sleep from "summary" of Sleep Smarter by Shawn Stevenson
One of the key components of improving your sleep quality is maintaining a healthy diet. What you eat can have a significant impact on how well you sleep at night. The foods you consume can either support or hinder your body's ability to rest and rejuvenate during sleep. Eating a diet that is high in processed foods, refined sugars, and unhealthy fats can disrupt your sleep patterns and leave you feeling tired and groggy in the morning. These types of foods can cause inflammation in the body, which can interfere with the natural sleep process. On the other hand, consuming a diet that is rich in whole foods, fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats can promote better sleep. These foods provide essential nutrients that support your body's natural sleep-wake cycle and help regulate hormones that are important for sleep, such as melatonin. In addition to the types of foods you eat, when you eat can also impact your sleep quality. Consuming large meals or heavy snacks close to bedtime can make it difficult for your body to digest the food properly, leading to discomfort and indigestion that can disrupt your sleep.
