Should You Resist Late-Night Snacks When You Can't Sleep? Expert Advice [As Seen on a Science YouTube Channel]

[Financial News] Experts have advised that people with insomnia may actually benefit from having a light snack. Suitable options include milk, cheese, and peanuts.
According to Dong-Sun Jang’s Curious Brain, a science YouTube channel, on the 15th, the book *Overcoming Insomnia Without Medication* introduces methods that can help with insomnia. One of them is eating a light snack. Such snacks can induce drowsiness. The explanation is that eating one at a time other than immediately before bed can help make you sleepy.
By contrast, it is best to avoid caffeine and alcohol. Regular exercise is also recommended, although it should be avoided immediately before bedtime. The bedroom should be kept quiet, dark, and cool.
Sleep habits that help relieve insomnia are also important. First, getting up at a consistent time can promote stable sleep. Experts advise that waking up at the same time every day can make it easier to fall asleep. In addition, the bed should be used only for sleeping. Activities such as reading, studying, and making phone calls should be avoided in bed. It is also helpful to stop thoughts about plans or worries from occupying the mind.
If you cannot fall asleep after spending more than 20 minutes in bed, it is best to get up. Go somewhere else and return to bed once you feel sufficiently sleepy. Napping or going to bed too early is also not recommended.
