Sleep Issues

If you’re having difficulty falling or staying asleep, you may want to pay more attention to what you’re eating. According to a 2019 study published in the American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine, there’s a strong connection between poor sleep quality and higher consumption of added sugars.

Our quality of sleep and sleep cycles are regulated by the temperature and the light of the room, as well as glycemic control. For someone who is eating too much sugar, it can definitely mess with their sleep quality and sleep cycle.

Here’s our advice: avoid eating — especially sugary foods — two hours before going to bed, so the sugar has enough time to travel through your system, and you can get into sleep mode.
