NPR: 5 eating habits that can help you sleep better at night
Reduce caffeine during the day. I found out one way to do that is to get the daily coffee from a place such as Panera bread, so that I don’t brew my own coffee (and I tend to brew more).
Reduce or stay away from alcohol. No hard liquors (e.g., whiskey).
Reduce red meat (dinner): for that matter, control the portion for dinner. More on the timing below.
Reduce snacks (unhealthy ones) during the day. Main task for me is to buy less snacks when doing grocery shopping.
Reduce sugar.
Reducing eating leftover food: there are many ways I end up eating leftover foods. Cooked way too much. Usually it’s my wife who cooked too much 🙂 Because I don’t cook much, and when I cook, I don’t cook a lot or I usually just cook some egg, fish or shrimps and they are usually manageable. Another scenario: my wife usually put certain amount of food on my daughters’ plate, and she expected the girls to finish them. It’s not usually the case they finish them. And sometimes (maybe too many times) I came from the background of “not wasting food”, I end up eating my girls’s leftover. Similarly for other small leftover on the tables.
Don’t eat anything substantial after 8 pm, per Dr. Bonacorsi. It seems he already retired and he lives in my old neck of the woods 🙂 I also think for me, probably stop eating anything substantial after 7 pm is the goal.
Okay to consume in moderation: fruits, vegetables, milk, coffee, yogurt, eggs, tofu, sea food (shrimp and fish), and healthy bread.
Sleep
Put the phone and computer outside the bedroom.
