TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Lack of good quality sleep is a common complaint of modern urban society. In fact, what you had before bed times can prevent you from having a tight sleep. You might want to avoid these stuff listed below:
Coffee
The caffeine contained in the coffee is obviously well known to stimulate central nervous system. For overtime workers, coffee often becomes their 'best friend' to keep them awake. A senior scientist from Henry Ford Sleep Disorder and Research Centre in Detroit Timothy Reohrs said each individual has different sensitivity to caffeine. However, gulping down coffee just before your bed time will surely distract your sleeping quality.
Chocolate
You need to avoid chocolate, especially dark chocolate which also has high caffeine content.
Energy Drink
This kind of drink contains higher level of caffeine compared to coffee and the caffeine would even stay in the body for eight hours.
Wine or Alcohol
This last type of drink can keep you up the whole night and give you an exhausting morning. A study said a glass of bourbon or vodka mixed with free caffeine or soda will increase the frequency of waking up in during the night if it is consumed before sleep.
