Basis Of My Fucked Up Sleeping Schedule

According to Dr. Maoshing Ni in his article 6 Natural Tips for Deep Sleep he states, "When you eat late, you wake up tired. Your body will be busy digesting your dinner while you are trying to sleep, so you won't feel rested in the morning. Do not eat anything for at least three hours before bedtime. Also, cut back on eating bacon, cheese, chocolate, ham, potatoes, tomatoes, and sausage, especially before bed. These foods contain tyramine, which inhibits neurochemicals like norepinephrine and can cause insomnia. And, of course if you have sleep problems, caffeine should be cut out." Unfortunately every food in that list, with the exception of sausage, was included in my dinner today at the dining commons.

Fail.
