You're a light sleeper and wake up frequently at night. You sometimes wake up covered in sweat, feeling nauseous or extremely hungry. Sleep is an essential moment as it helps your body to replenish itself. It is important not to neglect it. For that reason, here are a few tips to help you get a good night's sleep and benefit from all its resting virtues.

Sleep well, eat light!

As we usually spend little energy after dinner, it is recommended to eat lightly in the evening. An excessively fatty meal can stay in the stomach, especially as digestion while you lie down is slowed down. We recommend avoiding rich dishes in sauces and fried food. Prefer lean meat - chicken breast, cooked ham, roast beef - or fish. For the evening, a half-portion of meat is perfectly suitable.

How to calm hunger palms

You often wake up in the middle of the night with hunger pangs. You can't get back to sleep without eating something. What should you eat in this case without it being too fatty or too sweet ?
A drink of milk or a yoghurt are ideal. For example, drink a glass of Yop which, thanks to its protein content, calms your hunger and helps you get back to sleep.

You dream that you are drinking huge amounts … but nothing can calm your thirst…

In this case, you have surely eaten too much salt or have not drunk enough water during and after dinner. Drinking alcohol can often produce thirst.
Remember that regularly eating pork delicatessen food (sausages, pâtés, etc.), cheese, tinned food and adding salt to pre-cooked dishes are all major indicators of excess salt in the diet. We recommend drinking at least 1.5 litres of water per day, during and between meals.

You find it hard to fall asleep

To help you get to sleep, you can drink a cup of warm milk, eat a yoghurt or fromage frais. Dairy products are known for their beneficial effect on sleep thanks to their tryptophane content. Tryptophane is an amino acid involved in the synthesis of serotonin, a hormone released by the brain which is supposed to intervene in the sleep mechanism. If your sleeping problems are linked to anxiety, you are perhaps lacking in magnesium. Take some drinking chocolate or eat a piece of dark chocolate with almonds with your yoghurt. Beware of snacking though, as you could spend a bad night and gradually put on weight!
