There are a number of factors that can keep us up at night. A really approachable way to ensure that you\u2019re maximizing the quality of your sleep is by taking a look at what you eat every day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h5><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So you\u2019re saying what I eat affects how I sleep?<\/span><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nutrition makes up a key pillar of support when it comes to getting more and better sleep. There isn\u2019t a specific meal plan that will guarantee you a solid night\u2019s sleep, but eating a balanced diet full of colourful, leafy vegetables, healthy fats and proteins is a good place to start.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That being said, there are specific vitamins and minerals that have a particular impact on how you sleep at night. Prioritizing your intake of these nutrients is a great way to round out your diet for better sleep.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, let\u2019s talk about what a good night\u2019s sleep looks like, and what it means when that gets interrupted.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Understanding our circadian rhythm<\/span><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our circadian rhythm acts as our internal clock that makes sure we wake up and fall asleep every day. It\u2019s impacted by natural and artificial light, and prompts energy and alertness throughout the day. A healthy circadian rhythm will produce melatonin, a hormone that tells your body when it\u2019s time to sleep, when it\u2019s dark out. This will induce sleepiness, and ideally we\u2019ll sleep soundly through the night. When our circadian rhythm gets disrupted, we experience poor sleep.How can my diet negatively impact my sleep cycle?<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overindulgence in caffeine<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Coffee or tea is a great way to give yourself a jolt of energy first thing in the morning, but if caffeine is consumed too close to bedtime, it can keep you awake at night. For the average adult, caffeine has a half-life of roughly 6 hours, which means that it takes that amount of time to completely clear your system.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Too many desserts full of refined sugar<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dessert is most often considered the last meal of the day. This means it\u2019s an opportunity to make a smart choice that will impact how you sleep at night.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enjoying a sweet treat full of refined sugar close to bedtime may cause your blood sugar to spike. This leads to the pancreas releasing insulin, which in turn delivers blood sugar to our body\u2019s cells so it can be used for energy. On top of this, high sugar intake can lead to magnesium deficiency, which is a nutrient required to metabolize sugar.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re in the mood for something sweet at the end of the day, reach for something fibrous or protein packed, like fruit with nut butter, greek yogurt, or naturally sweetened chia pudding.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Poorly timed meals<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">you eat also has an impact on your sleep quality. Emerging research has shown that the release of insulin that occurs after you ingest food may disrupt the circadian rhythm. This is because insulin stimulates the production of a specific protein called PERIOD, which is vital to the maintenance of circadian sequencing within cells.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consuming a large meal close to bedtime can also be disruptive to your sleep. Aim to eat your last large meal of the day at least 3 hours before you plan to go to bed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How can my diet lead to better quality sleep?\u00a0<\/span><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are specific nutrients in your diet which will enhance your sleeping patterns. Prioritizing these foods in your diet is a great way to make sure your nutrient levels are primed for a good night\u2019s sleep.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reach for magnesium-rich foods<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most common factors that keeps us awake at night is a racing mind. Believe it or not, this can sometimes be chalked up to low levels of magnesium due to its role in melatonin production.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have trouble turning your thoughts off at bedtime, magnesium can help relax your mind and better prepare your body for sleep. Magnesium can be found in foods like leafy greens, nuts, seeds, beans and whole grains. It\u2019s also a great nutrient to take in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/products\/canprev-magnesium-bis-glycinate-200_28201.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">supplement form<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A little more zinc doesn\u2019t hurt\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may know about <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/products\/canprev-zinc-bis-glycinate-25_141235.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">zinc<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> because of the vital role it plays in our immune health, but studies have shown that zinc deficiency is often linked to low melatonin levels. Not only does zinc play a role in the production of melatonin, it also helps produce melatonin\u2019s precursor, serotonin. Foods that are rich in zinc include grass-fed beef, Brazil nuts, cashews, dark chocolate, almonds, and pumpkin seeds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fill up on melatonin boosters<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although melatonin is a hormone that is produced within the body, it also occurs naturally in certain foods. Adding tart cherries, eggs, goji berries, fish, milk, pistachios, and almonds to your routine is a great way to ensure you\u2019re getting enough of this vital sleep hormone. Bonus points if you double down on <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/products\/canprev-magnesium-gaba-melatonin_144278.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">magnesium and melatonin<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Feel the difference<\/span><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re someone who struggles to fall asleep at bedtime, or wakes up throughout the night, take a look at how you\u2019re eating. Making simple adjustments to your nutritional intake is an approachable way to tackle sleep issues, and you\u2019ll definitely feel the difference.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Sources<\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/diet\/foods-high-in-melatonin#2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6 Foods High in Melatonin<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedaily.com\/releases\/2019\/04\/190425143607.htm\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How eating feeds into the body clock<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4930144\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nutrition and the Circadian Rhythm<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sleepfoundation.org\/nutrition\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nutrition and Sleep<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/time.com\/4408772\/best-times-breakfast-lunch-dinner\/#:~:text=%E2%80%9CEating%20too%20close%20to%20bedtime,before%20you%20go%20to%20sleep.%E2%80%9D\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When to Eat Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner<\/span><\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text]Let\u2019s face it \u2013 we\u2019re not at our best if we haven\u2019t gotten a good night\u2019s sleep, and sometimes that can be hard to come by.
