The Late Night Snacks That Won't Upset Your Stomach and Wreck Your Sleep

Late night snackingisnt ideal, but sometimes you just gotta eat.

Your body needs energy, even for sleep… Definitely go for the snack, but ensure its the right kind of snack.

Keep your portions small and shoot for under 200 calories.

What kind of foods fit into that range?

Just stay away from the really sugary stuff.

Red meat isnt recommended.

If you better dip your veggies, go for a non-spicy hummus.

Hummus contains vitamin B6, which is necessary for the production of melatonin.

BRAT foods: BRAT stands forbananas, rice, applesauce, and toast.

Stick with these foods and youll fall asleep and, more importantly, stay asleep.

You should alsoavoid spicy foodsthat can cause there to be too much acid in your stomach.
