Best foods to eat before going to bed

[Guest guest]

You guys are the best at giving advise! Now I have a question:

 

I'm getting a new job working swing shift. I'll get off at 11:30 pm and

get home by midnight. Since I'll need to get to sleep shortly after

arriving home, I was wondering what might be a healthy meal/snack to

eat just prior to going to bed. I know not to have any foods with

sugar/caffeine, but are there any " good " snacks? Are protein foods

better? Or complex carbs? I'll obviously want something that won't be

too hard on the digestive system since I'll be laying down.

 

Any ideas would be appreciated.

 

Thanks!

One of my first " real " jobs was working swing shift. It actually

wasn't as bad to adjust as I thought it would be.

 

I wouldn't recommend any snacks prior to going to bed. When we sleep

our bodies get busy detoxifying. If you eat before going to bed, your

body will first have to digest - which takes away from that very

important detox time.

 

It would be best to eat a snack or meal at work if possible, allowing

a couple of hours time to digest before going to bed. If you only

have time to eat once you get home, make sure it is something that is

easy to digest. Raw vegetable juices (homemade, not bottled) come to

mind. Although stay away from carrot juice at night - it can give you

quite an energy boost!

Hi- Best practice is not to eat a least 3 hours before retiring. Sleep is

better when digestion is complete. Q: Do we eat to create energy or do we

waste most of our energy digesting our food? You won't need food to get through

the night.
