The problem: a heavy, late dinner can keep you awake, even if you do not notice it. What you eat in the evening, and when you eat it, quietly shapes the night that follows. As the weather turns colder, warm and simple evening meals suit both your stomach and your sleep.

Three easy changes

  1. Eat earlierFinish eating 2 to 3 hours before bed, so your body is resting at night, not busy digesting.
  2. Choose warm and seasonalChoose warm, seasonal food in the evening, like soups, cooked vegetables and whole grains, instead of heavy, fried, late meals.
  3. Watch late caffeineWatch late caffeine: tea, coffee and cola after mid afternoon can still be in your body at midnight.

You do not need a new diet. Just an earlier, lighter and warmer evening plate.
