I've always heard not to eat certain foods before going to bed because it would make falling asleep a little more difficult. Things that would fall into this "no eat zone" category are spicy foods for example (it could cause heart burn). But what kind of snacks will actually help your chances of dosing off more pleasantly?

This site has the answer in regards to bedtime snacks for adults, teen and children. One snack mentioned for adults sounds pretty appetizing: three cups of popcorn sprinkled with Parmesan cheese. You can go with the low fat variety for an even healthier option. If your children get the munchies before calling it a day, try a banana with two teaspoons of peanut butter.

Quick edibles such as these should be consumed at least half an hour before hitting the sack. I can identify with another item on the list: cereal before bed! Nothing wraps up a day better than a bowl of Cheerios. Check out the site for more snack suggestions to sleep better.
