💨 Abstract
To avoid sleep disruptions, experts recommend avoiding chocolate after 3 p.m. due to its caffeine and theobromine, which can elevate heart rate and alertness. Dark chocolate’s stimulants linger for 6–8 hours, interfering with sleep. Instead, opt for sleep-supportive snacks like bananas with almond butter. Other evening foods to avoid include tomato-based sauces (acid reflux risk), aged cheese, and cured meats (tyramine).
