Studies show that if you don\u2019t get enough sleep, you\u2019re at greater risk of depression, heart attack or stroke, and your risk of death from heart disease more than doubles. Without a good night\u2019s sleep, you\u2019re more likely to nod off at your desk, and you\u2019re grumpier. It\u2019s common knowledge that foods like caffeine, alcohol and sugary snacks cause sleep disruption. But the sleep experts have identified lesser-known sleep-disrupting foods that sabotage your sleep and derail happiness and career success.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"subhead-embed color-accent bg-base font-accent font-size text-align\">Seven Foods That Sabotage Your Sleep<\/h2>\n<p>For many office employees, this season becomes a perfect storm of tempting foods, social pressures and stress, amplifying what experts are now calling \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/bertie.forbes.com\/#\/compose?id=6737b4002ed5564c5f365e3d\" target=\"_self\" class=\"color-link\" title=\"https:\/\/bertie.forbes.com\/#\/compose?id=6737b4002ed5564c5f365e3d\" data-ga-track=\"InternalLink:https:\/\/bertie.forbes.com\/#\/compose?id=6737b4002ed5564c5f365e3d\" aria-label=\"food noise\" rel=\"noopener\">food noise<\/a>.\u201dIf your brain could speak, <a href=\"https:\/\/bertie.forbes.com\/#\/compose?id=67365d66b3ca3564a902b77a\" target=\"_self\" class=\"color-link\" title=\"https:\/\/bertie.forbes.com\/#\/compose?id=67365d66b3ca3564a902b77a\" data-ga-track=\"InternalLink:https:\/\/bertie.forbes.com\/#\/compose?id=67365d66b3ca3564a902b77a\" aria-label=\"it would tell you the foods\" rel=\"noopener\">it would tell you the foods<\/a> it needs for maximum career performance and ample sleep. But since it can\u2019t talk, I spoke by email with someone who can. Dylan Tollemache, co-founder and CEO at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.onebed.com.au\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"color-link\" title=\"https:\/\/www.onebed.com.au\/\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.onebed.com.au\/\" aria-label=\"Onebed\">Onebed<\/a>, told me that there are an unknown sleep disruptors. \u201cSome seemingly innocent or even healthy foods could be silently stealing your Zzz\u2019s, and they\u2019re not the ones you\u2019d expect.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The sleep experts at Onebed identified seven foods that are touted as healthy that might be sneaking onto your plate and keeping you from the snooze time you need.<\/p>\n<p>1. <em>Dragonfruit: The Sugar Bomb in Disguise.<\/em> \u201cDragonfruit might look like a sleep-friendly snack, but it\u2019s anything but. This exotic fruit is loaded with magnesium and vitamin B6, nutrients that boost brain activity and cognitive function during the day. Combine that with its natural sugars, and you\u2019ve got a fruit that keeps your brain in high gear instead of shifting into sleep mode. A beauty on your plate, but a beast for your bedtime.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>2. <em>Protein Bars: The Overachieving Snack.<\/em> \u201cProtein bars are the ultimate multitaskers\u2014great for workouts, terrible for winding down. Their dense amino acid profiles require significant digestion, forcing your metabolism to work overtime when it should be slowing down. That post-gym snack might be keeping your body in \u2018go mode,\u2019 directly competing with the chill-out signals needed for sleep.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><fbs-ad position=\"inread\" progressive=\"\" ad-id=\"article-0-inread\" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"presentation\"\/><\/p>\n<p>3. <em>Kombucha: The Gut-Health Hero That Wakes You Up.<\/em> \u201cThis fizzy drink might be a wellness favorite, but it\u2019s no friend to your sleep. The fermentation process in kombucha creates tyramine\u2014a compound that stimulates your nervous system\u2014and trace amounts of caffeine. Together, they\u2019re like a double punch to your relaxation. If you\u2019re sensitive to these compounds, you\u2019ll be lying awake wondering why your \u2018healthy\u2019 drink feels like a wake-up call in a bottle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>4. <em>Pickled Foods: Tangy Treats That Tinker with Your Sleep.<\/em> \u201cPickles and other fermented foods are another unexpected disruptor. They\u2019re packed with tyramine and histamines, which interfere with melatonin production\u2014your body\u2019s natural sleep hormone. If you\u2019ve ever felt wired after a late-night snack of pickled veggies or kimchi, now you know why. These tangy troublemakers aren\u2019t just tasty\u2014they\u2019re working against your body\u2019s natural rhythm.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>5<em>. Green Tea Ice Cream: A Dessert with a Dark Side<\/em>. \u201cIt\u2019s creamy, it\u2019s delicious, and it\u2019s surprisingly bad for bedtime. Green tea ice cream is a sneaky triple threat: caffeine, sugar and L-theanine. While L-theanine can be calming during the day, it interacts differently at night, overstimulating your brain when it should be winding down. Add refined sugar into the mix, and you\u2019ve got a dessert that fuels mental chaos instead of peaceful dreams.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>6. <em>Spirulina: The Superfood That Won\u2019t Let You Rest.<\/em> \u201cSpirulina may be a superfood, but it\u2019s a sneaky stimulant when it comes to sleep. Its high protein and amino acid content can trigger mild adrenal responses, subtly energizing your body instead of letting it relax. While it\u2019s excellent for daytime energy and focus, consuming it too close to bedtime can turn your body into a metabolic buzz machine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>7. <em>Cured Meats: The Savory Sleep Saboteurs<\/em>. \u201cSalami, bacon and other cured meats might make a delicious snack, but they\u2019re also loaded with tyramine. This compound is notorious for stimulating brain activity, and when combined with the protein density of cured meats, it\u2019s a recipe for alertness instead of rest. They\u2019re salty, they\u2019re satisfying, but they\u2019re definitely not your bedtime buddies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to Tollemache, most people think they&#8217;re making healthy choices, but they&#8217;re accidentally sabotaging their sleep. \u201cWhat&#8217;s interesting is how foods we consider &#8216;wellness heroes&#8217;\u2014like kombucha and spirulina\u2014can be total sleep disruptors,\u201d he states. \u201cIt&#8217;s not about demonizing these foods but understanding that timing and individual biology matter. The real game-changer is realizing your late-night &#8216;health&#8217; snack might be the reason you&#8217;re staring at the ceiling at 2 a.m.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"subhead-embed color-accent bg-base font-accent font-size text-align\">A \u2018Pro Tip\u2019 On Foods That Sabotage Your Sleep<\/h2>\n<p>Tollemache emphasizes that these seven foods aren\u2019t villains. He refers to them as \u201cmisunderstood players in the sleep game.\u201d He explains that their impact on your rest comes down to timing, how much you eat and your body\u2019s unique response. The key, he says, is to avoid these sneaky disruptors at least four to five hours before bedtime. \u201cThink of your diet as an extension of your bedtime routine\u2014just like dimming the lights or switching off your screens, eating the right foods at the right time sets the stage for deep, uninterrupted sleep,\u201d he points out.<\/p>\n<p>Counting sheep won\u2019t get you to the Land of Nod if you consume foods that sabotage your sleep. But Tollemache offers a Pro Tip. He suggests that you trust your body over the latest food trends. \u201cSleep isn\u2019t just about cutting out the wrong foods\u2014it\u2019s about creating balance in everything you eat throughout the day,\u201d he concludes. \u201cGet your diet in sync with your sleep, and you\u2019ll wake up refreshed and ready to take on the day.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"subhead-embed color-accent bg-base font-accent font-size text-align\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/bryanrobinson\/2024\/12\/07\/7-lesser-known-foods-that-sabotage-your-sleep-and-career\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Counting sheep won&#8217;t help you get to the Land of Nod if you&#8217;re consuming lesser-known disrupting &#8230; [+] foods that sabotage your sleep. getty Sleep is the foundation of our &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/?p=134733\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-134733","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-health","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134733","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=134733"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134733\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=134733"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=134733"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=134733"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
