❌ Caffeine and sugar — Especially if consumed later in the day, as these can keep you awake at night and make it difficult to fall asleep in the first place.

❌ Alcohol — While alcohol in small amounts may help you get to sleep, research has shown that a high alcohol intake results in increased sleep disruption, lower quality of sleep, and shorter sleep duration.

❌ Spicy and acidic foods — For some people, spicy foods like citrus and tomatoes can cause indigestion and reflux, making it difficult to get comfortable.

❌ Foods low in fiber and high in saturated fats — This includes meat and dairy products as they can make it difficult for you to fall asleep.

❌ Shift work and jet lag — Changing our circadian rhythm affect how we sleep and can have a dramatic impact on our health both in the short-term and long-term.

❌ Stress — The more cortisol and adrenaline your body produces during the day, the more likely your circadian rhythm will become dysregulated.
