Avoid stimulants

Avoid stimulants

Coffee, tea, chocolate, colas, and alcohol are all stimulants that can interfere with sleep. So you're going to be even more vulnerable to their effects on sleep if you're already dealing with pain. Eating spicy foods at night can also irritate your stomach and help keep you awake.

For these reasons, it's best to avoid all of these foods and beverages at night.
