Presenter: Dr Najjar is here with us at the studio to give us a few tips about eating better for better sleep. Doctor, is there a diet to follow or certain foods to eat that would help us sleep better?

 

Dr Najjar: You can improve your sleep by eating foods like fruit, vegetables, beans and whole grains. These tend to produce serotonin, a hormone that helps cause sleepiness, and may even be responsible for giving you good dreams! However, be careful with the amount of food you eat – a big meal may make you sleepy, but digesting it could be a problem later that night. Certain foods and drinks can stop you sleeping well. The caffeine in coffee, tea and chocolate will stop you sleeping well if you drink or eat anything that contains it four hours before bedtime. Your diet can also have an indirect effect on your sleep. Eating a lot of sweets and white bread can cause your blood sugar to rise fast, and fall quickly again, as well as causing you to put on weight. This in turn causes snoring and sleep apnea, which will contribute to irregular sleep patterns.

 

Presenter: Well, thank you Doctor. Let’s all try putting some of Dr Najjar’s advice into practice! I’m looking forward to sleeping better already.
