Dear Jane,
Sleep is very important to us and one of the secrets to get good sleep is eating right.
There are some foods that can stop your sleep and help you fall asleep.
Try to have dinner earlier in the evening, and avoid heavy, rich foods within two hours of bed. Fatty foods take a lot of work for your stomach to digest and may keep you awake.
To avoid waking up later in the night, stay away from alcohol in the hours before bed. Besides, Caffeine can cause sleep problems up to ten to twelve hours after drinking it! Avoid drinking too many liquids in the evening.
Hope you will get a good sleep.
Regards,
