What is the impact of junk food on sleep?

Eating junk food, especially close to bedtime, can negatively affect sleep quality.

Foods high in sugar and fat can cause indigestion and discomfort, making it harder to fall asleep.

The rapid changes in blood sugar levels caused by sugary foods can also disrupt sleep patterns.

Additionally, consuming caffeine-containing junk foods like chocolate can interfere with the ability to fall asleep and stay asleep.

A diet rich in whole foods, particularly those containing magnesium and tryptophan, can promote better sleep.
